Sad.. Happy to be a non drinker! Only tried Pot twice, very glad I never went farther.

From the highest highs to the lowest lows.
RIP Whitney.

It's going to be a very somber Grammy's tomorrow night.

The Bodyguard and prior to that, she was incredible.

The perfect ideal wonderfulness of her songs always creeped me out. My one sister loved that kind of music and it made me feel kinda weird to be utterly incapable of relating. It just felt horribly cheesy and fake. Nothing is like that in real life. That's my entire personal experience with Houston's presence in music. It's sad to hear that she died. That's way too young to die. Surely superstardom is unhealthy. I don't know any examples of superstars that don't involve drugs and screwed-up behavior. The few who survive are usually the ones who get out of it.

Agreed on absolutely every point (and you made a lot of them

). Ultimately, though, her voice was exceedingly special and she deserves to be remembered for it.

+1 Eric. Can't say that I was really a big fan, but I agree that she definitely had a special gift and it was shocking and sad to hear that she is gone. Much too young. She still could have done a lot of wonderful things. RIP, Whitney.

Fwiw: I always respected her ability.

Unbelievable...I just was recently listening to Dolly Parton's I will Always Love You and I played the Whitney Houston version for comparison...
This is pretty unsettling added to my recent nostalgia kick...Robert Anton Wilson, George Carlin, Michael Jackson, now Whitney Houston...feeling old...

Bobby was the good guy. Whitney was the instigator.
