Can we put this thread on hold and criticize the hell out of her tomorrow?

Beats me.

My point is just this, Whitney contributed to this society though she obviously fell short as we all do.

I have many fond memories of her music as I came of age in the 80's.

The 80's for me was a decade of youth in my 20's, I did a lot of things that I am not proud of but at least had a Country with promise of the future...can't say that now.

Call me nostalgic, forgiving of a fellow human who perished under tragic circumstances...throw in the fact that it is Easter and well, my previous comment.

I am no better than she was, though she made more money than I did.

I’m from the same era, but my tastes ran more towards Led Zepplin and AC/DC.

Of course, when Bon Scott and Jon Bonham chocked to death on their own vomit, their deaths were due to foolish and self destructive behavior.

That didn’t change the fact that they were great artists. The fact that they were great artists didn’t change the fact that they died foolishly.

Whitney Houston’s death was sad, unfortunate and unnecessary. She was a pop diva.
