Whitney Houston, RIP

According to twitter, Whitney Houston has died.  Also according to AP, which means that it may actually be true.  Regarding the media circus which shall ensue within the next hours, I’ll simply link to this. I won’t watch any of the coverage of her passing; I didn’t care for her music, her acting, or her public persona, and so I have little interest in the media fest that will be her wake. However, given that our aesthetic commitments play out not simply in terms of preference for one musician over another, but indeed help determine what we find relevant and irrelevant, I’m reluctant to judge those that will form the audience for the wake.

UPDATE [SL]: Good obit with lots of embeds from Maura Johnston.
