Gee, What's Amy Winehouse Up To Today?

I like Amy Winehouse. But I worry that her behavior will finally catch up with her, that her record label will drop her, her fortune goes up in smoke or her nose, and one day I get that inevitable call.

I like Amy Winehouse. I love her music. It's distinctive, original, and no one will ever cover it on American Idol. But I worry that her self destructive behavior will finally catch up with her, that her record label will drop her, her concert tours evaporate, her fortune goes up in smoke or her nose, she's in total despair and finally one day I get that inevitable call. The one I dread.
