Amy Winehouse does not come for the Grammy

winehouse.jpgAmy Winehouse does not come for the Grammy rental on Sunday to Los Angeles. Indeed, the British-Jewish soul singer, after initial refusal of the US authorities, now, nevertheless, one more visa has agreed for the entry. But now she has probably lost the desire.

Instead of Winehouse presents her nominated album “Back To Black” during the gala evening by satellite. The visa had presumably been rejected because Winehouse had been arrested the last year because of the possession of marihuana. However, even if she says of herself: ” I believe, I will always find a way, to ruin my life.”, she is not the White Trash Queen so many supposes.

Interesting article in the NYT (with many great photos) about people who screw ingenious stereo sound systems on her bicycles to themselves: “Biking to a Different Beat. The motocross bicycle of Stephen Sonnylal, 17, at left, bears a 200-pound system with a 50-CD changer. It has 3,000 watts of power and cost $800. “People say, ‘It’s the next best thing to having a system in a car.’ But it’s better because you don’t even have to roll down the windows,” said Nick Ragbir, 18, right.”

A revolution of aesthetics, consequently an aesthetic revolution, appears to me to be the only
reasonably
answer on a, time and space and person formatting, “Great Design Guide”

Since we do not live for a long time any more in the Postmodernism, but still in the
Pop Modern age.
