I like Amy Winehouse. I love her music. It's distinctive, original, and no one will ever cover it on American Idol. But I worry that her self destructive behavior will finally catch up with her, that her record label will drop her, her concert tours evaporate, her fortune goes up in smoke or her nose, she's in total despair and finally one day I get that inevitable call. The one l I dread.
“Did you hear about Amy Winehouse?”
“Oh no. Don’t tell me. Did she…?”
“Yep. 5:00 this morning.”
“Oh Jesus, that’s so terrible.”
“Yeah. She signed with CAA and is meeting with writers about doing a sitcom. Are you free for lunch on Thursday?”
I think it's Ketamine, not Katamine. You just don't know your animal tranquilizers that are boiled into a solid form and then inhaled through the nose as a dissociative narcotic do you Ken?
ReplyDeleteOr so I hear anyways...
Thanks Simon. You're right. If I can't buy it at Target I don't know from it.
ReplyDeleteThat little girl has lived more life (or a facsimile of same) than I have in all my hundred or so years. She's got nothing to look forward to . . .
ReplyDeleteWell, the sitcom thing, maybe.
You don't watch The Soup? Because it keeps me as informed on Amy as I need to be.
ReplyDeleteWith a name like Wine-House, she HAS to be drunk. I was thinking of changing my last name to hers.
At least she isn't Whinehouse. then she'd really be annoying.
It takes a lot of work to get emphysema before you’re 30 (Hell, before you're 60!), but she tries harder. She's an achiever.
An intemperate musician? I'm shocked, shocked!
ReplyDeleteJanis, Billie, Elis...
The only thing that could be more terrifying than her hairstlye, her singing and the inevitable sex tape is that some fucker gives her a sitcom - it was bad enough when Ozzy Osbourne got his and the network decided to cast his actual family members.
ReplyDeleteHealth insurance provider dropping her? Dear boy, here in socialist Europe we don't require such things ... we're not completely hopeless, like say ... well, you know.
ReplyDeleteI love Amy. But she's losing it. She can't sing like she used to. The drugs are taking effect and she slurs through all her performances now.
And Ken, if you love Amy take a chance on Duffy. The album is fantastic. She got her break thanks to Amy, but she'd been working on it for three years. It's well worth a listen.
I live in the Keys and we aren't exactly the mecca of current events, new trends, breakout artists, etc., but I'm still surprised that I never heard of Amy Winehouse for her brilliant singing -- until she started hitting rehabs, hospital rooms, bouncers at clubs, and various other sterling behavior.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that say about her press people?
Ken, if you get that call, you just have to say "No, no, no..."
ReplyDelete(sorry)
This trainwreck has been a terrific pop sensation, but brilliant? I don't think so. Sharon Jones is the real thing. AW even used her band.
ReplyDeleteI don't love Amy Winehouse. I find it hard to forgive someone with such obvious talent that squanders it with such adolescent behavior. I didn't even know they had trailers in England. And they're gonna have to come up with more words for hideous to describe her photos.
Amy Winehouse punched a fan? She is like a music legend. Sinatra.
ReplyDeleteAt least in a fight, no one could mess her face up.
Hey, she didn't invent the rebel without a cause.
ReplyDeleteKen, if you get that call, you just have to say "No, no, no..."
ReplyDeleteRob!, writers aren't allowed to say, "No." They have to say, "How high?"
Which in Any's case is completely appropriate.
-AE
oops....'AMy's case...' sorry - I think she smoked part of her 'M.'
ReplyDelete-AE
If "Desperate Beehives" gets greenlit I'd say you've got the first season all mapped out.
ReplyDeleteHmm-ya. Nice work Levine.
I don't know, I tend to suspect we'll be hearing "Rehab" on AI sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteSomeone actually covered Amy on the Canadian version of AI (Canadian Idol, obviously) last week. It went about as well as you might expect.
ReplyDeleteOther than that I have nothing to add.
Good voice, nice body, but man I'd hate to be on the receiving end of some tragic eyelash-related felatio mishap. Yikes!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's only a matter of time before those things hurt someone.
Her problem is a control freak Daddy. Annie is a lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteDon't know anything about her music and all I've heard about her convinces me she's a total mess. In the words of Mr. T, "I pity the fool."
ReplyDeleteHer next CD should be titled ENABLE ME, because that's what you're doing if you buy her music.
ReplyDelete>>She signed with CAA and is meeting with writers about doing a sitcom. Are you free for lunch on Thursday?”
ReplyDeleteCome on, you wouldn't want to try and make her into the next Tracy Ullman... or Katey Sagal (she could play Katey's kid sister or wayward alter ego).
As for "The Next Winehouse," her name is Adele.

OMG, a rock star being uncivilized? So all this stuff MTV has been telling us for decades, that rockstarts are nice family people, that never use curse words in their songs and overall responsible hard workers, it was all a lie? is this "rock and roll" music going to bring about the undoing of our society? say it ain't so Ken!
ReplyDeleteWhen I see that picture of her, all I can say is NO NO NO.
