Flirting with disaster Will Amy Winehouse's self-destructive behavior make her a music legend -- or will it just kill her?
  • Hard to take anything in this article seriously

    Why?

    Because of this one line:

    Would you have preferred her to do an MFA somewhere and write short stories, or would that be commodification, too? Oh, maybe she could just write them and lock them away and never try to get them published. I wonder what you're commodifying in your new book? Or are you above that?
