No, I have not just caught on to Amy Winehouse since I've probably been listening to Back to Black before I was legally supposed to. It's just that sometimes it's difficult to write about "good music" for the sake of good music.

Had I known she was such a mess, I'd have said something sooner.

No shade, no slight. I just adore the fact that someone with so much critical acclaim and talent puts her messiness on display for the entire world. I mean, she has earned a reputation as a raging, upchucking, unapologetic drunk! This is more than great; this is when I fall ass-over-tit in love.

Dear Amy,

This weekend at a party attended by three potential next exes, I ordered two drinks at once each time I went to the bar-- a Skyy & something and a Heiny. I drank them together. The line was long and I honestly didn't feel like waiting every time. Do you approve of this method? I was FUCKED UP when I got home, but I didn't barf. I realize vomiting would make for a much better letter. My gag reflex is the stuff of legend but that's another story for another time. Please hit me back and tell me how I can step my game up. I like to drink. I'm partial to Vodka Tonics, Woo Woo's, Jack & Cokes, Dirty Marties, and (when I only have enough ends for one drink) Long Islands. This information is documented and wholly verifiable in its truthiness.

Best Wishes,

nOva

P.S. Pitchfork is a bunch of HATERZ!!!! Tell Ghost to Holla!!!

I point and laugh at the people that try to label her as the next Lauryn Hill or some shit. First of all, Lauryn has her own set of issues that baffle this blogger; second, they sound nothing alike! Shit, Akon sounds more like Lauryn Hill than Lauryn Hill these days!

Anyway, I just want to officially put myself on AmyWatch. The next time she throws up, I'll be right there with a bucket and a mop. Then it's off to the lab to figure out the secret to her success.

Work!
