    The backlash against Amy Winehouse...

    ...is starting to become an industry. I may be an 30-something deadhead who'd rather pull out a thirty year-old Muddy Waters show I've heard a hundred times than read a single word of 'Pitchfork,' but I certainly know modern talent when I hear it. Give me a troubled, drug-addicted, white, British soul singer with Winehouse's talent anyday. Compared to most of the crap being churned out in America right now, everything about her is a breath of fresh air.
