Faithfull to Winehouse

From Marianne Faithfull's official Facebook page, an interview in Variety where MF speaks about Amy Winehouse's passing:
"I haven't really spoken about it, but I do have strong feelings about her loss," Faithfull says. "She was an amazing talent. But the music business is a loathesome thing. I don't mean to be too tough about it, but it's true. For anyone creative or sensitive, it can kill. It happened to Cobain and to Elvis, and it happens over and over again."

G'Nite Amy Winehouse, xxo

Having a tough time over Amy Winehouse's death. Here she is so present of mind, and lovely...I just can't believe she is gone. I was always praying for her to get sobriety. And honestly thought she just might pull it off. There is no room or cause for blame on Amy or the people around her. Over the last several years I read that she tried to get clean and succeeded at times. She died too soon, before she had another chance at sobriety. At least that's what I keep thinking and feeling. Sad sad sad. I hate what addiction did to Amy. [I was one of the lucky ones to recover but my own sobriety did not take the first time around.Or the second.] Whatever suffering she endured, at least that is over. Our loss is heaven's gain. Rest yourself sister.xo

Cherry Vanilla - 2010... and from the archives

I can't remember the last time I saw the vivacious, charming, good soul who is Cherry Vanilla, but at Barnes & Noble Monday evening it felt like she never left New York. There was a shiny black Yamaha piano on the stage; my wish was granted when I heard the straight outta a speakeasy lead-in of "I Know How To Hook" from Cherry's "Bad Girl" album.. And there she was, right on cue to pick up the vocals. Everyone applauded and cheered - this dame was BACK! CV was generous with us: she read excerpts from her new autobio, "Lick Me", read/sang poems, and schmoozed. I think everyone had a great time that nite. Cherry's hair is no longer red, but it is still a shade that's totally unique. It becomes her. Oh, and two more thoughts: 1. She is lovely to look at, and 2. Vanilla is a mensch. More later...
