Love Is A Losing Game: 1,000 Words On Amy Winehouse.
I wrote a longer piece about Amy, who I think was a much more fascinating artist than we ever gave her credit for.
While nothing I write her will bring Amy back, I set about writing this more as an ode to not what a great artist she could have been, but what a great artist Amy truly was. Sure, she had her setbacks, and yes, they are well documented. Many view her as nothing more than a warning to young starlets who ‘traverse the trapeze of fame’ or whatever half-thought-out adage some wanked and jaded music writer wants to throw in at the end of a snarky paragraph. But the fact is that, unlike Lohan, or Spears, or Sheen, or other people lauded for their addiction problems – Amy’s artistic output – even during the time of her own undoing– is staggeringly good and just as relevant as it was then as it is today.Billie Holiday had her own demons, too, although they were much less documented than Winehouses’s – and we have come to appreciate Holiday’s ouvre. It might be time to do the same for Amy Winehouse.
