is manifest in this pop psychology parody “alerting” all to the potential demise of Ms. Winehouse.
Of course, it would not have been complete without a presumptuous and condescending “critique” of the artistic bona fides and the strategic “artifice” of the projected tragic victim. Possibly excluding her psychiatrist, no one can credibly speculate about, or affect, the issues causing the self-destructive behavior of this talented young songstress.
I wish I knew of a way to positively alter what she and other misdirected young people in all pursuits of life are doing to themselves. Perhaps this article, without the speculative assignment of motives and questioning of artistic credibility, would have had some potential to help if she read it.
Given those qualifiers, I sincerely doubt it.
