So Winehouse is going the same way as Doherty, ie highly public fuck-up. Her record company can't be too unhappy just now, album has climbed back up the charts, there's no such thing as bad publicity etc etc. Will she get herself back together and make another multi-million selling LP, or die in a Camden gutter? A bit of a win-win for them, no?
Drugs and music go hand in hand, but is it a case of everything in moderation, or live fast die young? Or is it really the ghoulish side of us saying the latter but thinking 'as long as it isn't me'? Nothing quite so entertaining than watching someone elses's life unravelling in public.
