As much of a slurring beehived fool as Amy Winehouse patently is, there are a couple of things she needed to accomplish before becoming a genuine music rebel – like filling her hard drive full of kiddie porn and getting arrested in Scandinavia.
Sadly, as yet at least, Amy Winehouse hasn't downloaded nearly enough child pornography to allow her to get banged up in a Vietnamese prison, but on the plus side at least she's been able to tick off the Scandinavian arrest. Amy Winehouse was arrested last night in Norway – but what for? Did Amy Winehouse a) give a baby a name that wasn't on the official Norwegian government's baby-name list, b) get caught with a small amount of drugs on her or c) punch a goose right in its stupid face? Of course, it's the second one – Amy Winehouse was arrested in Norway for the possession of seven grams of marijuana and fined 500 Euros, allowing all the stupid geese in the world free to fly around quacking for another day, the feathery wankers.
Looked at objectively, musicians shouldn't bother going to Scandinavia. Perhaps it's the screwy daylight hours, the overpriced booze or the proliferation of herring-based meals, but there's something about that corner of Europe that sends musicians slightly loopy. When Snoop Dogg went to Sweden he was arrested on a drug offence and when Axl Rose went to Sweden he ended up chewing on someone's leg. Right now Amy Winehouse is in Norway and, although she's done just about the dullest thing she's managed to do for months, she's still been arrested for it.
Amy Winehouse – a woman famous for taking enough drugs to almost die then going to rehab then ditching rehab for the pub then going back to rehab again then having a drug-fuelled prostitute-initiated razor fight with her husband – has been arrested in Norway for possessing the same amount of marijuana as there is protein in one ounce of meat. Possibly. The Times reports:
Singer Amy Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, have been arrested, in Norway, for drug possession. Police detained the couple overnight after they were found with 7g (025oz) of marijuana. The award-winning musician, her husband and an unnamed British man were arrested at a hotel room in the southern city of Bergen. They were held for 12 hours before being fined and released. The couple were ordered to pay 500 euros (£350) between them, while the other arrested man was fined £240.
It's reported that the police had been tipped off about the drugs by what it's calling 'a good source' and, since the drugs were found in the room rather than on any specific individual, everyone was fined and then went on their way again. Case closed.
Yeah, that's it. Nobody died, Amy Winehouse didn't need to get her stomach pumped or cancel her tour or scare her in-laws into phoning up a radio station and clucking like a couple of nervous hens. Amy Winehouse was arrested, detained for a little while and then let go again. Amy Winehouse didn't even get the chance to stare off into the middle distance while burbling and slurring uncomfortably, although that might just be because she's saving that shtick for tonight's show in Bergen.
