What's interesting is that the concept of the '27 Club' seems to have died with her.
For those of us who sustained ourselves through adolescence and early 20's with misplaced idealism, 27 or thereabouts is the age at which the scales fall from your eyes and reality kicks in. So for me, it was always totally understandable that 'misplaced idealists' might commit suicide at that age. But now that the development of popular culture has been arrested, and its collective IQ has been driven down, the "tortured artist" ideal isn't needed anymore and has been kicked to the curb. There are more effective ways of convincing intelligent white people to fall on their own sword.
Looking at the jewess Amy Winehouse, and the opposition to fertility that she represented, it's easy to see where feminism came from.
