Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Sponsored By Jack Daniels

If you’ll forgive me for that incredibly dull headline, when it comes to this particular piece of Winegums news, I am afraid (and a little ashamed, and slightly nauseated, and then a bit concerned, and possibly even confused) that the Herald Sun have beaten me to the punning punch with this one: “Amy Winehouse goes back to Jack Daniels”. Well, it would’ve been funnier had they just left it at “Back to Jack”, which is why I am dry-retching with shame and sorrow at not having been able to make the pun, BUT ANYWAY:

Amy Winehouse stunned organisers of a music festival she is due to headline, but ordering a whopping 48 bottles of Jack Daniels, according to a report.

Organisers of the three-day Bestival event on the Isle of Wight said they were shocked when Winehouse requested two whole crates of bourbon for the gig, The Sun said.

[...]

“With Amy’s record this can mean failure to perform or giving a shambolic performance. Whiskey is better than heroin – but not 48 bottles of the stuff.”

Oh dear. Well, you know, maybe she’s planning on having some friends around after the gig? Perhaps she’s now driving some sort of Toyota hybrid that only runs on brown spirits? Let’s not be too quick to judge! After all, that time she ordered ten buckets of KFC original recipe and six-months’ worth of crack, it turns out she was donating the lot to the local homeless children’s shelter! Aww!
