"content": "\u003cp>Last month, Miley Cyrus took to the stage at England's Glastonbury Festival and belted out a cover of Amy Winehouse's \"Back to Black.\" It felt appropriate given that Cyrus was sharing the stage that day with Mark Ronson—the man who produced the original track for Winehouse, as well as the album that spawned it. Miley's rendition was a fist-in-the-air take on what the BBC recently referred to as \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190709-back-to-black-the-millennial-i-will-survive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the millennial 'I Will Survive'\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bM4CnFG74A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was impossible not to notice how far removed this version was from the original. In Amy's hands, \"Back To Black\" was agonizing to the point of being an audible ache. In Miley's, it was merely a defiant singalong. It was a sad reminder that, though she only died eight years ago, the gulf created by Amy Winehouse's absence is still so enormous, it actually feels like she's been gone for much longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_17172']Part of the reason for that is just how impossible it is to keep Amy's spirit alive. All of the things that made her such a compelling performer and human were perfectly intangible, and simply cannot be replicated. Still people can't stop trying.

None of which have come even vaguely close to capturing the detonative clash of raw sensitivity and streetsmart wise-assery that Amy barreled through life with. Eulogies have a tendency to gloss over people's sharpest, most uncomfortable edges, and pop culture loves to paint stars who died young in only the most tragic of lights. Amy Winehouse is dealing with both in equal measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is not the first legend this has happened to. Eventually, all musicians who die too soon fall prey to the public's desire to mythologize them, but the process reduces them to their most memorable selves; shells devoid of the complexities that made them great in the first place. What we're left with is Jimi Hendrix \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZot7BBzgog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kneeling before a flaming guitar\u003c/a>; \u003ca href=\"https://i.pinimg.com/originals/78/bb/ee/78bbee2743df71821fb202bffec83bfe.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kurt Cobain in blue flannel\u003c/a>, crying at the side of the stage; \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2107768_2107767_2107761,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Lennon, naked\u003c/a> and fetal, clinging to Yoko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Amy has been reduced to bare essentials at a faster pace than her predecessors, probably thanks in part to the fact that she was a Halloween costume before she even died.

The likeness was good and the hair flower was real, but, by its very nature, it reduced Amy to her physical signifiers—which in a larger sense, is about the biggest disservice we could do her. One couldn't help but feel that Amy herself—self-deprecating and lacking entirely in airs and graces—might have found the whole thing somewhat preposterous. One of the funniest things about interviews with Amy was her\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5Dqa_K6blg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> inability to suffer fools and sycophants\u003c/a>.

An exhibition her brother Alex put together, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thecjm.org/exhibitions/16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, featuring a collection of Amy's personal effects, toured the world, appearing at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum in 2015. Her father Mitch released a book titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Amy-My-Daughter-Mitch-Winehouse/dp/006219142X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mitch+winehouse&qid=1562794613&s=gateway&sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>My Daughter, Amy\u003c/i>\u003c/a> in 2013. Her mother Janis released another, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Loving-Amy-Mothers-Janis-Winehouse/dp/1250078490/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/139-3618790-3784407?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1250078490&pd_rd_r=e4911bfd-a35a-11e9-95ef-ff89da75d8b9&pd_rd_w=CYaqR&pd_rd_wg=nVyr5&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=SCKFNQ4T8EYMFH2FY0VZ&psc=1&refRID=SCKFNQ4T8EYMFH2FY0VZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>Loving Amy, A Mother's Story\u003c/i>\u003c/a> in 2016. The family has even backed the controversial \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/22/amy-winehouse-hologram-tour-postponed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amy Winehouse hologram\u003c/a> currently in production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, since her passing, the closest anyone has come to bottling and preserving Amy Winehouse's true, multi-faceted self was 2015's \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em>. The film distinguished itself by pulling zero punches, effectively documenting both the majesty of Winehouse at work, and the horrifying consequences of her most self-destructive impulses. It caught her sharp wit and her selfish side; her sensitive core and the caustic walls she put up to try and protect herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2yCIwmNuLE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some scenes also served to show some of the uglier realities of the relationship between Amy and her dad. In one now-infamous moment, Mitch brings a TV crew to Saint Lucia even though his daughter is trying to recover outside of the spotlight. After he chastises her for being rude to two fans who wanted a picture, she says \"I don't want to be made a mug [fool] out of, dad.\" Sound engineer, Shomari Dilon comments in a voiceover: \"She just wanted her dad and he didn't just come by himself. He came with cameras and audio guys.\" After the movie's release, Mitch Winehouse insisted that this depiction of him was \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/01/mitch-winehouse-interview-amy-documentary-film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">misleading\u003c/a>.\" But it's hard not to recall it every time he makes yet another public appearance to talk about Amy or endorse something related to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer number of people who have produced tributes to Amy Winehouse in the last eight years speaks volumes about how much she's still missed, and how much money can still be made from her. Probably, Amy would be best served posthumously if the world simply followed the instructions she left us. She told journalists repeatedly throughout her life that she would like everyone to just focus on her songs. In one early MTV UK interview, she said: \"The more people see of me, the more they’ll realize that all I’m good for is making music.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1TQRJWLZ3s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Amy Winehouse died, I had been in the habit of listening to \u003cem>Back to Black\u003c/em> daily. After her death, I abruptly stopped and shelved that record for a full five years. In the immediate aftermath of her loss, listening to the more searing moments of the album—in full knowledge that there would never be a happy ending—was simply too dark. I tried to engage in other ways but they too felt uncomfortably masochistic. (It took me 20 minutes after the \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> documentary had finished to stop crying long enough to get out of the movie theater.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_105661']In the end, for me, the solution to keeping Amy Winehouse's spirit alive was the very simplest one—I just returned to the music with fresh ears, and made a concerted effort to remember how it felt the first time. Going back to the start was the easiest way to erase everything that had happened in between—the substance abuse, the relationship drama, the sanitized, simplified version of her we see so often now. \u003cem>Back To Black\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Frank\u003c/em> are the only things we know for sure represent how Amy Winehouse wanted to be seen by the world, and they are a more realistic reflection of her than any hologram ever could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent\">Try as other people might, the only person who was ever any good at telling Amy's story was Amy herself. Only her albums can do that now. We should let them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

An exhibition her brother Alex put together, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thecjm.org/exhibitions/16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, featuring a collection of Amy's personal effects, toured the world, appearing at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum in 2015. Her father Mitch released a book titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Amy-My-Daughter-Mitch-Winehouse/dp/006219142X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mitch+winehouse&qid=1562794613&s=gateway&sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>My Daughter, Amy\u003c/i>\u003c/a> in 2013.

The film distinguished itself by pulling zero punches, effectively documenting both the majesty of Winehouse at work, and the horrifying consequences of her most self-destructive impulses. It caught her sharp wit and her selfish side; her sensitive core and the caustic walls she put up to try and protect herself.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/_2yCIwmNuLE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/_2yCIwmNuLE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Some scenes also served to show some of the uglier realities of the relationship between Amy and her dad. In one now-infamous moment, Mitch brings a TV crew to Saint Lucia even though his daughter is trying to recover outside of the spotlight. After he chastises her for being rude to two fans who wanted a picture, she says \"I don't want to be made a mug [fool] out of, dad.\" Sound engineer, Shomari Dilon comments in a voiceover: \"She just wanted her dad and he didn't just come by himself. He came with cameras and audio guys.\" After the movie's release, Mitch Winehouse insisted that this depiction of him was \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/01/mitch-winehouse-interview-amy-documentary-film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">misleading\u003c/a>.\" But it's hard not to recall it every time he makes yet another public appearance to talk about Amy or endorse something related to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer number of people who have produced tributes to Amy Winehouse in the last eight years speaks volumes about how much she's still missed, and how much money can still be made from her. Probably, Amy would be best served posthumously if the world simply followed the instructions she left us. She told journalists repeatedly throughout her life that she would like everyone to just focus on her songs. In one early MTV UK interview, she said: \"The more people see of me, the more they’ll realize that all I’m good for is making music.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/h1TQRJWLZ3s'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/h1TQRJWLZ3s'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Before Amy Winehouse died, I had been in the habit of listening to \u003cem>Back to Black\u003c/em> daily. After her death, I abruptly stopped and shelved that record for a full five years. In the immediate aftermath of her loss, listening to the more searing moments of the album—in full knowledge that there would never be a happy ending—was simply too dark. I tried to engage in other ways but they too felt uncomfortably masochistic. (It took me 20 minutes after the \u003cem>Amy\u003c/em> documentary had finished to stop crying long enough to get out of the movie theater.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When the longtime friends and collaborators officially split last May, and Grande went public about her whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson just a couple of weeks later, Miller fans weren't happy. Some were quick to blame Grande for Miller's addiction issues, to the degree that she felt the need to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/999314187384901633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hit back on Twitter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13840493']For his part, Miller publicly stated that he was fine with the break-up and his ex-girlfriend's new relationship.

By that time, the damage was already done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_105664\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 355px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-105664\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/09/horrible1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/09/horrible1.png 355w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/09/horrible1-160x105.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/09/horrible1-240x158.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Comments posted to Ariana Grande's Instagram account on Friday, September 7, 2018.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the time of publication, Grande has yet to speak publicly about the death of Miller, though she did post a touching photo of him to her Instagram account over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bneu_dCHVdn/?hl=en&taken-by=arianagrande\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public attack on Grande is horrible but in no way surprising. It's not even the first time in the last few \u003cem>weeks\u003c/em> that a woman has been blamed for a famous man's own longterm, personal struggles. Ben Affleck's current girlfriend, model Shauna Sexton, was accused of landing the 46-year-old actor back in rehab late last month after she posted a photo of herself enjoying a glass of wine. Admittedly, her timing wasn't great; the pic went up just three days after Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, staged an intervention. But when accusations started flying in the comments, Sexton quickly and directly pointed out that her boyfriend's ability to stay sober had little to do with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sexton \u003ca href=\"https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2018/09/shauna-sexton-you-think-i-sent-ben-affleck-to-rehab/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I love to drink and party! Absolutely dude. Most 22 year olds do… [Does it] mean i would disrespect someone’s hard earned sobriety by drinking with them or in front of them? Hell no… Ben is a grown ass man, baby. He makes his own decisions. Blaming a 22 year old for someone’s 3rd time in rehab is just ridiculous...He is human. I am human. You are human. We all are going to f**k up it’s just a matter of learning from it. Don’t be so quick to throw shade on people. Take a step back, accept that we are all on our own journey, and be a little less critical.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So where does the compulsion come from, to hold responsible anyone other than the dead celebrity in question? The root of it is in the public's great sense of personal attachment to famous people, especially musicians. Pointing the finger at someone else means propelling our own sadness out and away from us. \u003ca href=\"https://www.shape.com/blogs/shape-your-life/why-we-take-celebs-deaths-so-hard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Therapist Patrick Wanis told \u003cem>Shape\u003c/em> \u003c/a>magazine: “We grieve them … because we feel they can no longer continue to contribute to our lives—we have lost out on their next musical creation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other factor is an unwillingness to blame the deceased person themselves, for being gone too soon. No one wishes to speak ill of the dead, so we absolve them of responsibility and shift blame to the next nearest living person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_107245']What the blame game ignores, of course, is just how complex addiction is. The causes of drug and alcohol dependency differ wildly depending on the individual. As the \u003ca href=\"https://www.centeronaddiction.org/what-addiction/addiction-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center on Addiction\u003c/a> points out: \"Addiction disrupts regions of the brain that are responsible for reward, motivation, learning, judgment and memory.\" Relapses can be caused by anything and nothing. And for partners living with an addict, there is no perfect way of dealing with it. If they exercise tough love and leave, they are accused of abandonment. If they stay, they are accused of enabling. It's a no-win position to be in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing to keep in mind is that the only person that can keep an addict sober is the addict themselves. Assistance can come from sponsors, organizations and, yes, partners. But if it feels too uncomfortable to pass judgment on the addict, it should feel just as unjust to direct it at their loved ones. In the end, Mac Miller didn't die because Ariana Grande broke up with him; Mac Miller died because he had a disease.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's not even the first time in the last few \u003cem>weeks\u003c/em> that a woman has been blamed for a famous man's own longterm, personal struggles. Ben Affleck's current girlfriend, model Shauna Sexton, was accused of landing the 46-year-old actor back in rehab late last month after she posted a photo of herself enjoying a glass of wine. Admittedly, her timing wasn't great; the pic went up just three days after Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, staged an intervention. But when accusations started flying in the comments, Sexton quickly and directly pointed out that her boyfriend's ability to stay sober had little to do with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sexton \u003ca href=\"https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2018/09/shauna-sexton-you-think-i-sent-ben-affleck-to-rehab/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I love to drink and party! Absolutely dude. Most 22 year olds do… [Does it] mean i would disrespect someone’s hard earned sobriety by drinking with them or in front of them? Hell no… Ben is a grown ass man, baby. He makes his own decisions. Blaming a 22 year old for someone’s 3rd time in rehab is just ridiculous...He is human. I am human. You are human. We all are going to f**k up it’s just a matter of learning from it. Don’t be so quick to throw shade on people. Take a step back, accept that we are all on our own journey, and be a little less critical.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So where does the compulsion come from, to hold responsible anyone other than the dead celebrity in question? The root of it is in the public's great sense of personal attachment to famous people, especially musicians. Pointing the finger at someone else means propelling our own sadness out and away from us. \u003ca href=\"https://www.shape.com/blogs/shape-your-life/why-we-take-celebs-deaths-so-hard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Therapist Patrick Wanis told \u003cem>Shape\u003c/em> \u003c/a>magazine: “We grieve them … because we feel they can no longer continue to contribute to our lives—we have lost out on their next musical creation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other factor is an unwillingness to blame the deceased person themselves, for being gone too soon. No one wishes to speak ill of the dead, so we absolve them of responsibility and shift blame to the next nearest living person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The causes of drug and alcohol dependency differ wildly depending on the individual. As the \u003ca href=\"https://www.centeronaddiction.org/what-addiction/addiction-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center on Addiction\u003c/a> points out: \"Addiction disrupts regions of the brain that are responsible for reward, motivation, learning, judgment and memory.\" Relapses can be caused by anything and nothing. And for partners living with an addict, there is no perfect way of dealing with it. If they exercise tough love and leave, they are accused of abandonment. If they stay, they are accused of enabling. It's a no-win position to be in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing to keep in mind is that the only person that can keep an addict sober is the addict themselves. Assistance can come from sponsors, organizations and, yes, partners. But if it feels too uncomfortable to pass judgment on the addict, it should feel just as unjust to direct it at their loved ones. In the end, Mac Miller didn't die because Ariana Grande broke up with him; Mac Miller died because he had a disease.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her ancestor, Harris Winehouse, emigrated from Minsk, Belarus to London in 1890, and was soon followed by his family. The only problem? He meant to go to New York. Oops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Amy's grandmother, Cynthia, was a bad ass. She believed herself to be a medium and taught Amy how to read tarot cards. \"Nan\" also held a grudge (\u003cem>broyges\u003c/em> in Yiddish) against Amy's brother for not saying hello to her when he was eight. That's one way to teach the youth to respect their elders!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Amy loved \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/16/the-smiths-and-charlie-brown-a-match-made-in-miserable-heaven/\" target=\"_blank\">Snoopy\u003c/a> growing up and well into adulthood. She collected any books featuring the cartoon pup that she could get her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Amy always wanted to live in Camden, a hip neighborhood in London. When she was old enough, she got a job selling candles at the market there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Amy was an OK cook, but made a mean meatball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. She was essentially expelled from two different schools. During a class at Sylvia Young Theatre School, she decided it was a good time as any to pierce her ears with a drawing pin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Her music collection was wide-ranging. There are artists you would expect: Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong. And some you might not: Adam Sandler, Mickey Mouse Club, Marilyn Monroe, Beck and George Michael.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Her brother says that Amy was insecure about how intelligent she was. She would leave Jackie Collins novels out, while hiding books by Dostoyevsky. She was also obsessed with word puzzles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-17237\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1440x919.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1400x893.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1180x753.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-960x613.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>9. Don't let the omnipresent ballet flats fool you. Amy loved shoes in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of way. The exhibit showcases heels by the high-fashion likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Ferragamo, and Miu Miu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Speaking of Ms. Bradshaw, Amy loved \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, if her DVD/VHS collection (seen in this close-up below) is any indication. Other favorite shows and movies include \u003cem>Will & Grace\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Jackass The Movie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>MTV Yoga\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beaches\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Tootsie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Ghost World\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Craft\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em>, and all the Audrey Hepburn movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\" alt=\"amy-winehouse-dvd-collection\" width=\"621\" height=\"1485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg 621w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection-400x957.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. The most interesting part of the exhibit for me was the tracklist from Amy's \"Songs on my Chill-Out Tape.\" Anyone who has made a mix for a crush knows how soul-revealing the medium can be. Seeing the school uniform she wore, the records she touched and her collection of designer shoes is all personal, but this artifact, written in \u003ca href=\"http://i3.cdnds.net/12/29/amy_list.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">her own bubbly handwriting\u003c/a> really projects Amy's humanity and personal taste.

There comes a point where we must draw the line between our adoration for a celebrity and letting them have the dignity of resting in peace (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/04/09/why-the-selena-hologram-is-a-really-bad-idea/\" target=\"_blank\">Selena's hologram comes to mind\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the show does its best to navigate this tricky space, by working with Amy's immediate family to move the spotlight off of the tragedy and spectacle of her life and onto mementos that project a simple truth: Amy Winehouse was just a girl. Yes, a very talented, famous girl, but ultimately a human being just like you or me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some humanizing details about Amy that surprised me:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17238\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/1_Amy_Winehouse.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-17238\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/1_Amy_Winehouse-800x1202.jpg\" alt=\"A young Amy outside her Grandma’s flat in Southgate.

She believed herself to be a medium and taught Amy how to read tarot cards. \"Nan\" also held a grudge (\u003cem>broyges\u003c/em> in Yiddish) against Amy's brother for not saying hello to her when he was eight. That's one way to teach the youth to respect their elders!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Amy loved \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/16/the-smiths-and-charlie-brown-a-match-made-in-miserable-heaven/\" target=\"_blank\">Snoopy\u003c/a> growing up and well into adulthood. She collected any books featuring the cartoon pup that she could get her hands on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Amy always wanted to live in Camden, a hip neighborhood in London. When she was old enough, she got a job selling candles at the market there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Amy was an OK cook, but made a mean meatball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. She was essentially expelled from two different schools. During a class at Sylvia Young Theatre School, she decided it was a good time as any to pierce her ears with a drawing pin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Her music collection was wide-ranging. There are artists you would expect: Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong. And some you might not: Adam Sandler, Mickey Mouse Club, Marilyn Monroe, Beck and George Michael.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Her brother says that Amy was insecure about how intelligent she was. She would leave Jackie Collins novels out, while hiding books by Dostoyevsky. She was also obsessed with word puzzles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-17237\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-800x510.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-400x255.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1440x919.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1400x893.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-1180x753.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/4_JML_Install_shot-960x613.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ian Lillicrapp / Jewish Museum London\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>9. Don't let the omnipresent ballet flats fool you. Amy loved shoes in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of way. The exhibit showcases heels by the high-fashion likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Ferragamo, and Miu Miu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Speaking of Ms. Bradshaw, Amy loved \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, if her DVD/VHS collection (seen in this close-up below) is any indication. Other favorite shows and movies include \u003cem>Will & Grace\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Jackass The Movie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>MTV Yoga\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Beaches\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Tootsie\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Ghost World\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Craft\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Birdcage\u003c/em>, and all the Audrey Hepburn movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg\" alt=\"amy-winehouse-dvd-collection\" width=\"621\" height=\"1485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection.jpg 621w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/07/amy-winehouse-dvd-collection-400x957.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11. The most interesting part of the exhibit for me was the tracklist from Amy's \"Songs on my Chill-Out Tape.\" Anyone who has made a mix for a crush knows how soul-revealing the medium can be. Seeing the school uniform she wore, the records she touched and her collection of designer shoes is all personal, but this artifact, written in \u003ca href=\"http://i3.cdnds.net/12/29/amy_list.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">her own bubbly handwriting\u003c/a> really projects Amy's humanity and personal taste.

Carole King's \"So Far Away,\" a favorite song of Amy's which makes an appearance as the penultimate track on her mix, was played at her funeral. *fights to hold in sob*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thecjm.org/on-view/upcoming/amy-winehouse-a-family-portrait/about\" target=\"_blank\">Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/a>\u003c/em> opens today and runs through November 1, 2015 at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.
