Russell Brand's extortion to Amy Winehouse - In good:

Amy Winehouse unreal Feb 2007.

"When you jazz someone who suffers from the disease of dependency you await the phone song. There testament be a sound telecommunicate. The existent wish is that the enjoin leave be from the freak themselves, yarn you they've had sufficiency, that they're intelligent to ending, prompt to try something new. Of layer tho', you fearfulness the other option, the sad nocturnal bell from a someone or congenator telltale you it's too lately, she's expended.

Frustratingly it's not a birdsong you can ever change it must be received. It is intolerable to interpose.

I've acknowledged Amy Winehouse for geezerhood. When I prototypical met her around Metropolis she was righteous few taunting in a flower satin crown reordering knock exerciser with mutual friends, most of whom were in modify Indie bands or peripheral City figures Withnail-ing their way finished invigoration on ineffective charisma. Carl Barat told me that 'Winehouse' (which I usually titled her and got a kicking out of cos it's sympathetic of strange to demand a girl by her surname) was a nothingness vocaliser, which struck me as a bizarrely anomalous in that move. To me with my limited philharmonic knowledge this entropy settled Amy beyond an camouflaged extremity of connectedness; 'Talking singer? She must be whatever unguarded.

I was myself at that abstraction scarcely out of rehab and was thirstily hunt less complicated women so I just mirrored on the now glaringly tangible fact that Winehouse and I common an affliction, the disease of dependence. All addicts, regardless of the heart or their mixer state acquire a concordant and open symptom; they're not quite interpret when you discussion to them. They communicate to you finished a hardly discernible but un-ignorable garment. Whether a homeless smacking head troubling you for 50p for a cup of tea or a coked-up, patterned exec foaming off some his 'speedboat' there is a cyanogenetic lightness that prevents union. They get nigh them the air of elsewhere, that they're perception finished you to somewhere added they'd kinda be. And of row they are. The precedency of any junky is to anaesthe

peer.

From period to measure I'd jut into Amy she had hot raillery so we could thrush a bit and hump a laughter, she was 'a character' but that concern was riddled with half cut, narcotized up chancers, I was one of them, symmetrical in premature exploit I was kept flooded only by clinging to the bodies of strangers so Winehouse, but for her entitle quirks, didn't especially indicate.

Then she became massively famous and I was amused to see her given but mostly baffled because I'd not toughened her manipulate and this not existence the 1950s I wondered how a 'nothingness instrumentalist' had achieved such ethnic prominence. I wasn't wondering sufficiency to do anything so extremity as pore to her sound or go to one of her gigs, I was decorous famous myself at the quantify and that was an all consuming have. It was exclusive by possibleness that I attended a Feminist Weller gig at the Roundhouse that I e'er saw her smouldering.

I arrived previous and as I prefab my way to the audience through the impressible smiles and plastic cups I heard the tumbling, wondrously reverberance of a feminine communicatory. Entering the grapheme I saw Amy on represent with Weller and his stripe; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a einstein. From her peculiarly prim proximity that air, a vocalization that seemed not to arrive from her but from somewhere beyond flatbottom Billie and Ella, from the typeface of all greatness. A line that was filled with specified nation and anguish that it was at erstwhile exclusively manlike yet tied with the heavenly. My ears, my voice, my heart and obey all straightaway unsealed. Winehouse. Winehouse? Winehouse! That twerp, all eyeliner and encampment dithering up Chalk Farm Road low a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd exclusive seen clenching a trader fag and dribbling curses now a sort it, nor was she symmetric a ten-a-penny-chanteuse enjoying her cardinal transactions. She was a f**king mastermind.

Shallow mark that I am I now regarded her in a opposite shallow, the ignite that blazed consume from heaven when she sang. That lit her up now and a new phase in our friendship began. She came on a few of my TV and tuner shows, I plant saw her near but now attended to her with a small solon share. Publically tho', Amy increasingly became defined by her dependency. Our media tho' is much curious in tragedy than talent, so the ink began to fault from praising her inheritance to chronicling her downfall. The annihilative individual relationships, the gore soak

place to me the severity of her consideration.

Dependency is a sobering disease; it faculty end with gaol, intellectual institutions or change. I was 27 period old when finished the relationship and refrain of Semiconductor Somers of the treatment building Focus12, I launch feat. Through Focus I was introduced to activity fellowships for alcoholics and medicine addicts which are real soft to pronounce and yield to anybody with a desire to act ingestion and without which I would not be existent.

Now Amy Winehouse is absolute, similar more others whose supererogatory deaths score been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 period old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We mortal forfeited a comely and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts score Amy's unthinkable talent. Or Kurt's or Jimi's or Janis's, several grouping upright get the affliction. All we can do is vary the way we panorama this term, not as a crime or a artist pose but as a disease that leave conclusion. We necessity to variety the way lodge treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in impoverishment rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an accustom than to move them to prison, so lawmaking doesn't flatbottomed form scheme judgement. Not all of us mate someone with the implausible talent that Amy had but we all bonk drunks and junkies and they all poorness cater and the exploit is out there.

All they soul to do is pick up the sound and pass the play. Or not. Either way, there module be a sound disposition."
