I'm hardly a fan, have none of her music and only a passing knowledge of her output. <br /><br />But despite being unsurprising, her death has shocked and saddened me. <br /><br />Whether you view her as a hedonistic and self destructive individual, or an ill person who despite all her money (and the money she made for others) didn't get the help she needed*, I don't think there's any excuse for some of the snide jokes going on out there.<br /><br />I am suspicious when someone says "Well what about greater tragedy X". It often comes across to me as from someone who really doesn't care about X and just doesn't want to hear about Y.<br /><br /><br />*I'm tending to the latter BTW.rankersbohttp://rankersbo.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-22492098859525493752011-07-23T20:14:56.935+01:002011-07-23T20:14:56.935+01:00Sadly when it was reported that she was booed off ...Sadly when it was reported that she was booed off stage in Belgrade, a workmate said that she wouldn't be surprised if she was found dead pretty soon like Marilyn Munroe. I never expected it would be so soon but I feared it would happen.<br /><br />I've often wondered why someone close to Munroe couldn't help her - didn't get close enough to see the signs. And it happens again, and again, and will, no doubt, happen, again!JohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880436007058091917noreply@blogger.com
