More — and this is all — on Amy Winehouse

It’s amusing to me that I’m getting so many snarky comments about my post on Amy Winehouse, a repulsive woman who is the English equivalant of one of America’s bad girls of Hollywood. Hey, at least our troubled starlets and singers are attractive. As far as why I wasted my time doing a blog piece on her, the answer is because I felt like it.

Snarky comments? I suppose that is better than skanky comments.
Poor Amy Winehouse is the poster child for drug addicts gone wild.
I am not one that likes to bash people when they are down and out, but Amy Winehouse looks like someone you would find on the old Seventh St., prior to the policing that has clean it up - somewhat.

Yes Chuck, I imagine to you it is positively hilarious that we, the lowly readers, are a little put off by you reveling in your pop culture ignorance. What’s amazing is you simply cannot see how it impacts your credibility. Keep up the good work.

You know, there comes a point in most people’s lives where they simply do not have the time or inclination to keep up with popular culture — i.e. listening to all the “latest” songs, buying all the latest fashions, watching all the popular TV shows and movies — because they have more important concerns such as keeping their jobs, paying their bills (since Mom and Dad aren’t doing it anymore), communicating with their spouse, raising their children, taking care of elderly parents, etc.
I may be wrong, but I think the argument that newspapers and other media are losing young people because they aren’t giving them enough pop culture news is bogus. If anything, it’s just the opposite. Remember, Gen X’ers aren’t teenagers anymore. They are the 30- and 40-somethings out there working, marrying, raising families and trying to make ends meet. The generation after them, usually dubbed Gen Y or Millennials, includes many of the men and women who have been fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will read news about serious issues affecting their own communities and their own neighbors if it’s presented in an accessible format and they can’t get it anywhere else.

they say music is therapeutic… so she has at least that much going for her
