Lily Allen pulls no punches:Lily poured herself a shot of Jagermeister, a 70 percent proof liqueur, and raised her glass, saying: "It's the end of the weekend, you have got to have a drink. Here's to Amy Winehouse... ha!"
[...]
Lily also branded US President George Bush a "f***ing ****" during her earlier V-Festival set in Stafford on Saturday (18.08.07).
Just Another Blog™ actually likes both these dames. Sure, the music isn't terribly original, but it isn't terrible (Just Another Blog™, frankly, has little or no interest in pop/"rock" music created after, say, 1985, & finds most female vocalists to be like chalk on a blackboard). Ms. Winehouse has a fabulous voice, Ms. Allen writes snappy lyrics & when we've seen her perform on telebision we have quite enjoyed the whole poppy effect, nicely offset by her not-so-poppy lyrics.
We wish them both well, especially Ms. W., who may be taking this whole tortured artist thing too far (you're not a black woman living in America in the '30s & '40s, cool it). And we hope the assholes @ ICE chill out themselves & let Lily back in This Great Nation of Ours™.
