Human beings can, and usually have, more strength than that. Regret her weakness, rather than piss on her. In her prime, she did have a beautiful voice, and her songs inspired many people (though I wasn't particularly a fan; her sort of music never inspired me).<br /><br />There are a lot of other human beings out there struggling with addiction, and some died that night; some will die tonight, and tomorrow, and so on. Have some empathy toward them; an addiction is not something you can just walk away from, without a lot of outside support.<br /><br />I suspect it's easier for Joe/Jane Ordinary to get the support they need than for celebrities, whose every movement is photographed.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079852628674185384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-57064032204664861292012-02-13T11:27:57.529-08:002012-02-13T11:27:57.529-08:00Whaaat?

Then I remember that whole bread and circuses thingy. <br /><br /> Woman had some pipes though, I can't listen to her version of "I Will Always Love You" without bawling like a baby.<br /><br /> I watched Waiting to Exhale again today, it's one of the few movies I own on DVD, but I streamed it on Netflix. If you ever want to understand women and their need for women friends, that's the movie to watch. Some real acting talent in that movie, and the script was written by a woman. How anyone could not admire Angela Basset's performance in that movie is beyond me.nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833886980442919570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-54718739963816244972012-02-12T21:24:39.753-08:002012-02-12T21:24:39.753-08:00No. You're not alone in that opinion.No. You're not alone in that opinion.Ted McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035498835671628943noreply@blogger.com
