    Sturgell says OK sure. We were all young once and every last one of us made some stupid decisions, but were wern't asked to sing for Nelson Mandela in the midst of it all. this saga just keeps getting juicer and juicer

    Jo says How I hope and wish Amy will manage to sort herself out, get herself clean and healthy, such a shame to see her go to waste.

    Sturgell says Another story of too young and too much money.

    Jo says Possibly, but then perhaps her family should be listened to and followed in their request for Amy not to be booked for any albums, gigs, appearances or anything and not to be given any media attention until she sorts herself out?

    earthman says the media make it a whole lot worse but I have to draw a line somewhere and Amy is way over that line, I suppose you have to ask yourself what would happen to you if you carried on like that, over in NZ you would most likely get "the bash" Ive seen a reasonably well known muso get a couple of decent wacks at a bikers bar and it quietened him down for sure. Im not saying its the answer but

    Sturgell says For sure. I can only hope that an old dog would put me down if I was acting the fool

    Jon O says OK, someone's decided to honor a black African world leader by selecting two white individuals (Winehouse and Eminem) to perform quintessentially African-American musical idioms of jazz and rap. Not to mention the rest of the rather un-diverse lineup. Interesting...

    dermahrk says The question in my mind is: who is more likely to die before the event?

    Lighter Dusk says First, I hope that they allow smoking, so Amy can do the "Human Ashtray" trick for Nelson...I'd think, that being a champion of freedom, he'd enjoy how Wino is using her freedoms. Second, I still say Amy's only crime is being a girl. If this was Ozzy, Johnny Rotten, Lars Ulrich, Lemmy, or any number of musical "Badasses", her behaviour would be chalked up to "Rock N' Roll Attitude". As a girl, she gets labeled as an out of control crazy woman!!! And seriously...we need to save "Crazy" for those who really are, like Britney and Courtney Love. -Dusk
