Amy Winehouse's shocking MTV performance

[pinksatin]

I didn't catch it when it aired on TV. And every single link to a video or embedded video posted in this thread has for some reason or another been deleted, removed, etc. Except for the one from 2003. It makes me very curious just because of that. What are people trying to hide who keep taking away those videos... ugh! I want to see it!

...Mick, no; now Keith on the other hand...

I don't think even the 60s rocknrollers get excused for their substance stupidity. Even they were trying to be more 'authentic blues' and so tortured artist and all. Amy's no different. Perhaps empathizing is wrong, and we should shun her.

I really think harm reduction is the best path. If everything were legal and registered and occurred in well-lit rooms--and state-sponsored, especially--it'd take the dirty glamor right out of it: "The state buys me dope, yeah I got the blues". If people made the connection between government=legal dope, the next rebellious thing to do would be clean. Because "The Man" would be pushing it, and using would be seen for the life-controlling weakness that it is.

I don't know much of Mick Jagger but I do know of Marianne Faithfull and she says he wasn't one for the hard stuff....
or too much of even the light stuff...
he is too much of a control freak.


Now Marianne ( who did tons of the hard).....
how she came out looking as good as she does I'll never know.

Does anyone think Jagger didn't sample? I think he's had the equivalent of a three glasses of wine for a long time. Just not wine, of course. Whatever makes him more energetic or calms him down. Some people know where their limits go, others do not. Marianne, yes, she considers everything but the 'main' thing virtually nothing.

I agree totally with melt - I think this is primarily a publicity thing from Amy.

Or it would have the role of alcohol in Sweden in the 19th century. People got their pay in vodka and were drunk on most of their spare time.

I think they are excused, anyone who makes great art is excused Problem is almost nobody does anymore, so they're not excused.
