I generally do not care much for music. Weirdly enough, I can imagine life without it and I am not touched by the majority of music I hear. There was however one (and so far only one) artist who managed to deeply touch me with her music – Amy Winehouse. Her voice, her songs, her attitude, her style – everything was so beyond everything else we can see that one can only stop, listen and admire.

She was a truly exceptional artist, and one of the rare people who could push the boundaries of what we know and make a step forward. Since she died, I wonder every day what kind of society have we built if exceptional people can just die of overdose as if their illness was their own responsibility. It is a society that assumes no responsibility whatsoever, and yet we are paying a lot for all of its institutions to function. What is the true purpose the health system, I wonder? To whom does the society serve?
