In fact, I'm sure they'd be happier that it wasn't. That she's not getting arrested and banged up means there's a steady supply of material for them to splash with and sell papers.

That Winehouse is welded to the pipe is so ingrained as fact that even Mitch seems to have stopped bothering with his media salvos, and "but she's got a great voice" will surely soon enter legalese so often is it used as facile defence for supposed caring about her ("does the defendant plead guilty or Billie Holiday-like timbre?")Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834265575179460764noreply@blogger.com
