On a sad note for this usually upbeat blog, singer Amy Winehouse passed away on Saturday at the young age of 27. This is unfortunate because the world lost a very talented musician and our community also lost a member of its tribe.
However, since all good Hasidic Warriors are optimists and choose to focus on the bright side of Life, I would like to remind everyone that we still have Matisyahu.
Though the cause of Amy's death is still unknown, many people suspect it may be drug-related since she had a difficult history with addiction. An autopsy is scheduled for later today.
I've received a few emails about this subject from readers, the most notable of which comes from one person who claims that he is not a conspiracy theorist. This particular genius, however, suspects that foul play is involved and that a sinister campaign is being waged against prominent English Soul singers. He points to the recent failed kidnapping of Joss Stone as an example.
No, Felix, I don't think you are crazy, but what do you want me to do?
Book a flight over to London and set up a perimeter around Adele?
Although I still possess "a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare...", I have long since retired from that game.
I understand your concern, however.
As a Hasidic Warrior, I too have also dabbled in the occasional BBW. I also like her hit song "Rolling in the Deep", which discusses the benefits of sexual intercourse with large women.
But I think Adele will be fine.
