Winehouse bombs

Well, Amy Winehouse got back to her usually delayed concert tour yesterday, but things didn’t go as anyone planned or expected. According to the report,

“This is for my husband,” she said before launching into both “Wake Up Alone” and “Tears Dry on Their Own.”

However, when fans began to boo her indecipherable lyrics, which were punctuated throughout the night with fits of tears, Winehouse lashed out at the paying masses, threatening them with retaliation from her locked-up hubby and calling them “muggy c–ts” for buying tickets to the show in the first place.

“To them people booing, wait til my husband gets out of incarceration,” she said. “And I mean that.”

Enjoy the show, folks. It’ll certainly be something to tell the grandkids, I’m sure.

Less Talk, More Music: Midnight Oil on “Thicke of the Night”

I saw Midnight Oil in concert twice before they called it a day – once at the Boathouse, touring behind Diesel and Dust, the other at Norfolk Scope, touring behind Blue Sky Mining (with Hunters and Collectors as their openers!) – but until I saw this clip, I’d somehow managed to forget just how damned disconcerting Peter Garrett was to watch on stage. At that Boathouse show, I stayed way at the back of the venue, mostly because he scared the shit out of me!

By the way, this is officially the first time I’ve ever seen any portion of an episode of Alan Thicke’s short-lived late-night talk show. Wow, he was as cheesy as an ’80s sitcom dad even then; no wonder it was short-lived.
