Is it me or is this just too self serving? "My heart felt really sad. My husband, who's been clean and sober for almost nine years, you know, I see him working (on) a (sobriety) programme and working on himself every single day and I see how much work it takes to be clean and sober when you have addiction on your hands. So it gave me a real gratefulness for my husband, who got clean when he was 27. And I just feel sad and I hope she finds peace."
I got it off contactmusic and my gut is, eh? Perhaps this is not the time to salute Brand's sobriety.
If Brand had been unlucky and mixed up his chemistry at the wrong time he (or me for that matter) would be where Amy Winehouse is today.
This perception that Amy is a tragic figure isn't quite correct.
She accidentally killed herself.
If it had gone a different way, if the medicine had gone different, she'd be a drug addict. Maybe she would have survived like Brand and Keef did. Maybe she'd have made it as far as Billie did. At leasts he never appeared in "Arthur"
Sure she as unlucky in love, but she WASN'T that unliucky.
And she was a gifted woman.
Her death was tragic, Amy wasn't tragic. Her daddy and I thought she was fine.
