Just say no, no, no
Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” came up on the iTunes shuffle yesterday evening, and this is one of the tunes for which I actually shelled out an extra buck for the video, so I flipped the screen and watched. (So can you.)
About forty seconds into the next track, I was still staring in disbelief: at the time, this was a cute sort of girl — why else would I have shelled out an extra buck for the video? — but geez, you should see her now.
And it occurs to me that if the government is going to continue to make war on (some) drugs, they’d probably get more mileage out of Winehouse’s plight than they’re getting with their current pitches.

Exhibit A in the “the grass is NOT always greener” case.
It makes me sad that someone with talent can wind up as she has (and worse, as so many others have – Hendrix, Joplin, et al.)

Let’s hope she makes it past 27.

She become unbearable to look at. I’m not sure who failed her — family members, current treatment options, her own demons — but she’s clearly not getting the support she needs. Every time I see her, I feel I’m seeing someone entering a slow, or not so slow, death before my eyes.
