2. Maybe. There's definitely drugs but I'm not positive it's cocaine ...

It's actually pretty friggin hard to sing well (which she does here) on a bunch of blow.

Reason being: it numbs all the parts of your head that are important to being able to sing well.

She's squirming and shuffling and rubbing and grasping - she's on blow. The way you talk about it you know the signs, c'mon.

The fact that she could sing that well, as high as she was, is sad but...ugh.

Just sayin' blow ain't the only option. Speed and opioids can cause similar looking shit.

Then again, if she was on blow that wasn't inhaled ... that could explain why she could still sing.

There's no question she's high AF I'd just be really surprised if anyone could sing that well after snorting enough blow to get that high.

10. Speed maybe, but I've never seen someone tweaky like that on opiates

Now, with the mixed blessing of hindsight, we know it was probably speed or meth, or ingested cocaine (fun fact, a half hour before showtime SRV would dump an 8ball into a pint of whisky and chug it)...but at least she never chased the dragon I guess?

3. In the end it was alcohol poisoning that did her in

Though the other drugs, cocaine included, may well have contributed. And the bulimia.

Amazing singer.

Damn shame.

8. Some stars just burn too bright and burn out far too young.

An old story repeated far too often - Jimi, Janis, Duane Allman, Bond Scott etc. etc. etc.
