    Another vote for Bill Hicks here. I sorely miss what he might have said about the Republicans in the USA in the last decade: G.W. Bush, Cheney, McCain, Palin, Bachmann, and so on.

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    Amy Winehouse and the rest of the '27' club


    Lol, the '27 club' is for influencial rock musicians, who changed music (Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain) not pop singers. She's not even in the same league as them, it's stupid tabloids that put her in the same catagory :rolleyes:.


    My list would be; Rory Gallagher, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Phil Lynott.

    Not Kurt Cobain (even though I like Nirvana) because if he was still alive Dave Grohl wouldn't have made Foo Fighters..

    She was a musician. She wrote her own music, as well as singing it (and had a great voice at that). And in fairness, she at least sang with a bit of heart which is good to see in a music industry that seems to lack that these days. She's not a mere pop singer (anyway, what's the shame in that term? The Beatles were pop, ffs) either, she was a songwriter too and I'd be more inclined to define her music as soul. I actually think it's a damn shame she died, she had a lot of potential. Rock music elitists...:rolleyes:

    Gotta laugh too at the scoffing at Amy Winehouse, who actually had a lot of talent, and then expressing regret at the fact that someone like Marilyn Monroe is dead. If anyone was the epitome of overrated and given more credit than was appropriate, it was her. If she was alive today, she'd be what a lot of people despise - marginally talented, ditzy woman who earns her fame through mere sex appeal and pretending to be stupid.

    Never understood people's obsession with Monroe. She embodied the idea of being famous for no legitimate reason.

    On topic, I'd have to agree with Bill Hicks. He had a lot to say when he was alive, and I'd love to have heard what he'd have to say today.

    just wikied him to find out what you meant. I didn't know he was dead but I out of Europe during the time of his death. I also never ever noticed his hand at all. I loved his shows when i was younger.
