The Music Biz
Watched the Grammy's on Sunday night. I was pretty ambivalent about Amy Winehouse before but I love her now. "My Blake...incarcerated"! I have been replaying it a lot. I reckon Amy Winehouse is probably pretty cool. It's such a crock of shit that Natalie Cole is talking up about Amy being undeserving of her awards because she's a junkie. Nobody every said that about Kurt Cobain. Somehow it's just so much worse for a woman to be out of control/ to have a drug habit (not that drug abuse is a good thing).
Also in music - Dolly, what is going on here?! I am very very nervous about this. Of course my first concern is for Dolly and her bad back but I have scheduled my Irish trip around her show and I am planning to go with my mum. I sent her The Essential Dolly Parton so she can learn all the words and so we can listen to it in the car on the way to the show. This is dream come true material and I will be so so so so gutted if the show is cancelled. Prayers people. Prayers for Dolly (and by association my happiness).
Finally...if LJ and I ever have a daughter then we will strongly encourage her to go to this camp. I can't wait to see the movie!

That's the second time you've mentioned kids in the last while....do I hear a clock tickin'?
I think Amy Winehouse is awesome too. And I do not see what her drug use has to do with her level of talent. The last I checked, half of the jazz greats (if not more) were heroin addicts, and a good portion of all rock/movie stars rail it up on coke (etc). I think it's a double standard too - because she's a woman she should "behave" a bit better, or be judged harshly by everyone else. Hilary is getting the same treatment in my opinion. Not that I'd vote for her, but some XX in the white house would be a great accomplishment. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
Haha. Sure, the clock's ticking but I'm too busy to listen to it. Soon maybe but not yet.
