And Now the Hearse Pulls Up!!!!


I'm sorry. I just don't get the 24-hour, 7-day a week coverage of the Whitney Houston funeral.

She died. Let her rest in peace.

Nancy Grace was doing shows on it all week. I saw Aretha Franklin being interviewed. Whitney was lovely. Whitney was beautiful. It wasn't about demons. She never took drugs. Her voice belonged to God. She was an angel.

I'm not here to bash Whitney either. I said it earlier in the week. I really enjoyed her as a singer.

But don't try and revise it for me. I was here.

She had problems. She took a lot of drugs. People have been booing her performances for years now. She couldn't hit the high notes. She tried to save herself. She didn't.

It's the same thing with Michael and Elvis and Heath Ledger and River Phoenix and on and on and on.

Why not spend the time being productive in an effort to help stop the problem?

Educate people, thru Whitney's death about the perils of such a life. Talk about where and when and why you should get help.

Re-painting the picture ain't going to get it done.

Think about the ones that are following in her footsteps.

Put Lindsey Lohan in a straight-jacket right now.

Maybe it'll save her life.

Whitney's death is being glorified.

All I'm saying is that maybe it shouldn't be.

Perhaps it's me.

I don't want to watch a funeral. I don't want to consider what might have been and how and why or why not.

Just let her rest in peace.
