I didn’t intend to read this entire article about Amy Winehouse in Rolling Stone magazine, but once I started I couldn’t stop. RS writer Claire Hoffman spent some quality time with the singer in her Camden Crack Den, and her brilliantly descriptive writing makes you feel like you are right there. In fact, you may feel like need a shower after reading.

All around her, Winehouse’s home is in disastrous disarray: Discarded bags of potato chips, crumpled nuggets of tinfoil, beer bottles, lingerie boxes and scattered old credit cards tell of a long night that hasn’t ended in weeks, maybe months, music journalist Claire Hoffman writes in her piece on the cracked out singer.

This rare, inside glimpse into the real life of the love-sick/drug-sick Amy makes me think she’ll be dead within a year. This interview is going to be one referred back to after she dies.
