the winehouse challenge

I had and have nothing against Amy Winehouse. I own Back to Black. I listened to it a bit in 2007 before I forgot entirely about it. I noted over the years that she canceled concerts for "health" reasons, and when she was found dead, I can't really say I was surprised. That is the sum of my history with Ms. Winehouse and, I suspect, yours as well.

"OH MY GOD I'M CRUSHED TO HEAR ABOUT AMY WINEHOUSE THIS IS SO TRAGIC ANOTHER '27'..." read every other tweet and email last month. Really? Your position is Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain....Winehouse?

Yes, yes. Just like the talk show immortals are Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and George Lopez. Poor George. His cancellation was tragic.

Our capacity for overstatement is exceeded only by our desire to co-opt other people's tragedy as our own. To the next person who inflates Winehouse in your presence, I implore you to issue the following challenge: name two of her songs.
