No, don't idolize his lifestyle at all, nor do I demonize him. Drugs, alcohol, cheating on his wife...all addictions. Like any addict though, I do wish he chose his deep blue sea instead. Compassion is how I'd describe my feelings for good old Gram. A little more time, he might have pulled through.
I liked the line in the song is all. I live by the blue sea, and the image is very comforting to me.
Some of the most brilliant writers in history, were alcoholics/drug addicts. The disease is very sad to me for many reasons, but the loss of such genius is especially so. I'm sitting here listening to Amy Winehouse and thinking just that.
