Just How Far Has Amy Winehouse Come?
I don't believe that we, as a viewing and purchasing audience, should reward those in positions of fame when they wilfully and knowingly act in ways that are illegal, immoral, and detrimental to themselves and their fans. Too many so-called "stars" are rewarded for acting like jerks when they should be punished for such behavior, whether that be by the law or by our closed wallets. But I also believe that when someone does try to pull themselves up out of the mire of their crashed lives, that the effort shouldn't be ignored. For so many, there is no destination, no place to say, "I'm cured," but there's simply a continuous journey and many conscious decisions over the course of a lifetime to try not be what they were. So, let's see just how far Amy Winehouse has come in her journey out of the drug and alcohol-induced hell she put herself in. I certainly hope that she can continue her journey successfully. She's just beginning, she'll stumble and fall along the way, but hopefully she can keep up what has begun. It's new every day, Amy...Godspeed. A video I found of Amy singing "Rehab" while drunk: And at the Grammys:
