Flirting with disaster

Will Amy Winehouse's self-destructive behavior make her a music legend -- or will it just kill her?

    Case study.

    Mr. Hannaham, you need to fire the person who wrote that one-line bio at the bottom of your article; it makes your novel sound absolutely awful -- a smug combination of classist white-trash stereotypes, homophobic stereotypes, and religious stereotypes. Count me out.

    Anyway. Maybe Amy Winehouse is doing the kids a favor with her descent into what the British tabloids like to call "DRUGS HELL." She looks worse and worse with each passing minute. Given the (somewhat terrifying) superficiality of Gen Y, the devastating effects of her drug abuse on her sex appeal may be more of a caution than its destructive effect on her talent.

    She's an interesting singer when she's sober.
