Today, I published my first-ever op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald, on Amy Winehouse’s death and the fact that there is nothing special about dying at 27. Nothing special about the age of 27, and nothing special about dying. I criticise those who benefitted from her death, but resisted the temptation to argue that by dying of 27 she’ll be elevated to the status of a Cobain/Hendrix/Joplin, whether she deserves that or not. That said, any attempts by me to shift some sweet units of Sex, Genes & Rock ‘n’ Roll were purely ironic.
