True, couldn't agree with you more bro...
I adore Amy, I like the babyshambles and I really love Jimi Hendrix, what these people do in there private life is their own business, I guess they have their reasons for it....

My problem is with the organisers of the concert (Brian/Jim Beach??) for choosing her to publicise a charity that is not appropriate to her character or lifestyle or public image.
it really isn't dignifying for a man of Nelson Mandela's character and integrity to have to shake her hand and ask what she does to support his AIDS charity, to which the answer is nothing but feed the dealers who help to spread the disease.[/QUOTE]
I think this is the key point - drug users should not be contributing to a show designed to combat a disease partially spread by drug users!
I dont think she should be contributing to anything in the state she's clearly in at the moment, and she'll probably delay the show by turning up late - but thats a separate issue.
I agree - let people do what they want in their private lives, but when that massively impacts on their performances - as is clearly the case with Winehouse, then people are being short changed by getting a shite show (or no show at all).
As for the comments about people getting at her cos she's a woman - get real; Pete Doherty has received huge amounts of press for his addictions and innability to stay out of trouble, and mostly this has come out very negatively on him - I hate the idiot!
And this attitude of using drugged up bands who did good work on drugs as some way of suggesting drugs are a good thing - dont be ridiculous! Aerosmith were destroyed by drugs, to the point where Jo Perry left, and couldnt come back until he and Tyler were clean, the music became utter garbage and Ive seen shows where they were drugged up, and they were complete shite! Slash nearly died a few times from drug use, and Hendrix IS dead from excess - arguably the greatest guitarist ever, no longer here to make great music.
Some people need to grow up.

Paul Rodgers did LOTS of Heroine in the 70's.
Shouldn't he come to the concert neither?
Wake up dude, a lot of stars contributing to the 46664 gig are actually using drugs, you just don't read it in the Sun every day like you do with Amy. You don't have to throw the shit-car on people like Pete or Amy, they are real people with real problems and I rather see them perform than seeing 'perfect' stars playback their hits.

There's something a bit hypocritical about rock charities from day one. Just imagine all the food for hungry kids in Africa that could've been bought for the price of coke from the backstage of Live Aid.
Now, if you don't want to be cynical, you can say the charity event is bringing an issue to public awareness, so the hypocrisy is a small price to pay. I guess.
And do you think Freddie stayed away from drugs? It's just that today music press can't survive on bashing music anymore - they have to tear apart the star's personal life for the amusement of their readership. Yeah, drugs are bad, but people living off other's crotches and vomit stains make me sick.

PR never did heroin.
That's total BS. Where did you get that from?
He did coke until 1976 when he gave that and cigarettes up.

I hope Amy will do well and fingers crossed she does not make a fool out herself or the cause.
By some of the logic presented here the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert should never have happened.
Some people are such hypocrites.

Very very very bad example here. That's something I could actually get behind!

at least amy is real. shes not trying to be someone shes not, nor is she putting on a face to impress people only to walk off stage and be a junkie.
i love her music, her talent is undoubted. i so hope that someday she get herself out of her messes for her sake, at least.

I'd like to see one reputable reference to piles of coke backstage at Live Aid. I'm not saying everyone was clean, but it wasn't a Freddie party with midgets wearing trays and whatnot.
The number from Wiki is that over 150 million pounds were raised in total at Live Aid shows.
Don't get me started on the farce that was Live 8, but I get touchy about Live Aid because I believe that it truly was something good and special.

I agree with a couple of people here. Off course Amy Winehouse is one of the most talnted en gifted artists that is living right now. I don;t think she will become very old but it's her life. And about the drugs thing. Well I believe Brian if he stated that he only once smoked pot but wasn't it Micheal Jackson who stopped working on State of Shock with Freddie because he saw Freddie snoring coke? I don't mind my big basshero John Entwisthle also died of coke abuse but it doesnn't change my view of this bass legend
