FISH ISLAND STOCK GOES DOWN....


Current mood: YES YES YES....
Category: YES YES YES.... Music



Those of you who don't know much about The Sun
can count yourslves pretty damn lucky...

Yes boss, The Sun is Britains most read newspaper and excepting the odd headline and the sports coverage, it's generally filled with the kind of mindless crap that only really has good as cat litter or for use in the construction of paper maché heads...

AKA

The Sun
is the voice (that speaks to) 'the people' and (as per usual) the peoples voice talks a load of tubbly old catshit...


For example:

Todays issue was full of 'the debate' concerning The Sun's desire to see the recommencement of Capital Punishment.

It also contained a good deal of cheery old proporganda, which firmly suggested, that the mandatory introduction of DNA sampling of everyone in the UK is the best crime cutting idea since installing CCTV cameras on every street corner.

That reported violent crime has in fact RISEN since all these cameras were installed wasn't mentioned.

Neither was the rather obvious fact, that if serial rapist/murderers are easier and quicker to catch, they'll simply kill 9 prostitutes in one night, rather than spreading their shitty little deeds over a few weeks or years (either that or they'll become coppers or move to Thailand or Cambodia)......


Anyway, all this serious old crap aside, the story that really caught my eye in todays issue, was the news that Fish Islands most famous resident Amy 'drink the' Winehouse is not due to return to her yuppie Fish Island flat for the forseeable future...

No boss, The Sun has it that the worlds favourite caner 'doesn't want to return to her flat in Bow, East London, which the Sun exposed as a seedy drug den. A pal revealed 'That flat holds too many bad memories for Amy. It's where she was filmed smoking crack and she wants to put that behind her"


Now, I understand that Amy has to pretend to be all clean and healed and that Fish Island might no longer be her kind of a catch as a place to live because of the druggy old memories....

But I wonder if Amy realises what this move means for my blogs and the general feel good factor amongst the other residents of these here 'New Media' prison ghetto's here on Fish Island??

I mean, does she fully understand that I'll now have to revert to writing about serious issues of musical importance - that I'll have to start covering more new and exciting groups to fill the gaps left by my dubiously vague local connections to her bad habbits???

Does she also understand, that those of us who aren't as famous as her will no longer be 'papped' if we wander around our neighbourhood looking the least bit like a drug dealer or 'creative type' thereby making a big hole in our fishy little ego's??

DOES AMY EVEN CARE?????


Frankly, I don't think she's thinking straight. I think Rehab has changed her brain and now she's leaving the Island...


So, the long and the short of it, is that if Amy isn't coming back, us dull media types'll need a new celebrity junky to take residence here on Fish Island AND FAST!!!

Yes boss, existing Fish Island resident Shayne Ward is far too clean cut and not nearly fucked up or famous enough (I saw him being kind to a taxi driver the other day?!?) Meanwhile, our other pop star neighbour Nate James isn't fit enough to roll a decent joint, let alone fill Amy's crackpipe and I, PG£ simply can't be arsed with any kind of a serious drug habbit at this point in time...


So...

If anyone knows of a good quality celebrity junkie who needs a good place to shoot up, please do send'em this way...

couldn't you start promoting it as a sort of tourist attraction? guided tours of fish island and such?

Yeah, you could do that because there's a lot of history around here.

Petrol and Plastic were first formulated just around the corner, then there's the building of the 2012 Olympics just across the way and of course the celebrity pop star angle as well...

My main point here is that I simply think that for every 1000 New Media Yuppie Prison Ghetto flats like these you need a celebrity junkie in residence to create that buzz...

not to forget the random cleveland tarts, who prefer to giggle at over the pond poppy news rather than boring american media tracking britneys next bi-polar event... at least you brits still keep it real...instead of diagnosing a mental condition for every bad behavior...you call a crackhead a crackhead.

Well, there's plenty of talk of illness and treatment with Ms Winehouse here as well...

And overall, we're really getting into this American idea that any kind of character deviation or peculiar habbit is a disease that requires DRUGS!!!

However being a country that takes pride in it'a ability to get horrendously drunk, Ms Winehouse is becoming a BIGGER folk hero with each and every 'bad' headline...

Well, if you're only coming for a coupla weeks, you'll have to make sure you get me hooked on these drugs, so I can take up this position...

I'd also better release a decent chart toping LP 'n all, or else the paps won't be interested in the depravity to which I'll sink....
