You know? I was starting to not like Amy Winehouse but now that she’s straight up jackin’ fans in the face, I’m going to have to rethink this. The above video is Amy performing at Glastonbury and taking a little time mid-lyric to stick a fan. Who would go to an Amy Winehouse show and expect to not get physically harmed in some way?
Here I was thinking she was just a burnt-out, co-dependent druggie that took every opportunity to whine about her equally burnt-out, druggie boyfriend. But ho! She’s got a little fire left in ‘er! Not enough to give a good performance but jeeest enough to assault a fan. See, that’s just another testament to the resilience of the human body; nature at work people.
I don’t care what you’re on, if you are fucked up and someone tries to start shit with you: you get automatic rights to jack them. I’m surprised she didn’t dig around in that hive and pull out a shard of crack pipe to stab them. This is anyone’s right, especially if you are in a position of power with a big bouncer next to you. Awesome.
Update: I guess he deserved it, US Magazine reported:
Gostelow, who provided the BBC with his tape of the incident, is not planning to file a police complaint. He’s brushing off the incident as “all part of the Glastonbury experience.
“Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse,” he said. “I’m just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act.”

I love a crack head that can just keep on singing while elbowing a fan in the face.

That’s how you can be sure somebody is a crackhead. Every crackhead can jack someone up while still singing out loud to nobody in particular. Replace the mic with a garbage bag, and replace the concert hall with a crowded bus, and voila: not uncommon.
I made myself sad.
