Flirting with disaster

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

    I aint got the time....

    nor the patience for these lame theatrics anymore. I was impressed with Winehouse at first. Recently, after enduring her through one stupid choice after another and seemingly never suffering true consequences I no longer find anything about her worth my time and assuredly not my money. Dear Amy.... Damn bitch, did you just take all this success and money and shove it up your nose and give it away to an abusive arse who is OBVIOUSLY using you? Damn bitch, do you know how many truly talented artists still fighting for an opportunity to prove themselves would kill for what you have right now yet we are supposed to believe that your addictions and your wasting your life IS your art? Why we waste more time giving credence to yet another fucked up narcissistic baby with with a trendy (or is it artistic? Yeah, right) substance abuse problem (that most people would have had their entire livelihoods removed from them until they got there real life shit together)is beyond my understanding. We seem to honor stupidity these days as if it was something profound. Why else would people like Brittany, Lindsay and now Amy get so much attention and press for being essentially major friggin losers who cant keep their shit together? I'm bored with it and no longer will support ANYONE if they chose to squander what they have. Hey Amy, Id love a chance at having people love and admire my work. I would love to make so much money I could just help every one in my life that I love and finally give myself the things in life I have always wanted as well. Id love a chance to make a statement to the world. Hey Amy....You cant be a music legend when you don't even respect the gift of music. Maybe if we start treating these idiots the way they seem to want to be treated (they treat themselves like shit we should do so as well) they will go away and leave room for those who will return the investment we make on them. Its sad, I really thought she had something worthwhile to offer at first. Too bad she doesn't agree. Just too bad.
