Whitney Houston is dead and I really don't care. I get so sick of people who have it all, money, fame, and stardom and screw it up with drugs and other things. The list is endless, filled with people who can't seem to handle success. I really don't care anymore. Whitney was hardly one of the all time greats. Most of the females on the Grammys last night were every bit as good. To compare her to the likes of Rosemary, Ella, Karen, K.D., Diana and others that were truly great over a long period of time is ludicrous. Look at all the superstars here on the forum, Donny, Fran, Don Mason, Scott Yee, and Eddie Shoemaker. None of them are having trouble handling their stardom.

"We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”~Paulo Coelho.
“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”~Wayne Dyer
As a person who's life has been touched very closely by addiction, those two quotes sum it all up for me.
Ian
PS...You know guys, perhaps stuff like this should really be in the bar...it has nothing whatsoever to do with arrangers.

[Discussion here is fine...if it gets the point across...and I disagree with your counter view...I know you had some experience in the drug world...No excuses Ian..drugs are just dumb, and to justify one that uses is a losers game...
Of course drugs are dumb Fran, but, unless you have suffered from addiction yourself, you really can't talk the talk, if you haven't actually walked the walk. Anyone who justifies drug use plays the loser's game every bit as much as someone who judges without having actually walked in the other person's shoes. And yes, I think a subject as sensitive as this one, probably should be in the bar...it serves no actual purpose on a General Arranger Forum...there are plenty of other sites that deal far more knowledgeably, objectively and thoroughly with drugs, addictions, and their consequences on human life.
