Confused of Ripon
By what measure can anybody consider Amy Winehouse, 'Camden's Finest.' She was without doubt a fine singer but to call her Camden's Finest is a huge insult to the rest of Camden's inhabitants. What a very muddled world we live in.
Yes, but you know how it is, Alex. People always become saints when they die! They were all brilliant, lovely, nice, kind hearted... The truth is, she was a fantastic song writer and singer who took a wrong turn in her life and ended the way she did. A total shame, waste of a life. But to call her "Camden's finest", is a bit offensive to Camden and its residents, I would have thought... (and I'm sure Ed agrees with me!).
I think there's a word missing from the piece. "Addict", "lowlife", "victim" spring to mind...
ReplyDeleteI presume her demise was the result of the usual, being a rock star and all that.
ReplyDeleteShe had a lot of talent but was not a good role model for anyone.
Well said guys. Await the usual outpouring of grief.

Ed always talks fondly of you Caro. It's amazing how much you have in common.
