Congatulations to the Klaxons who won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize yesterday. The Friends of Celebrities are pleased for you.
However, I was sad too. I had to look up who won on the website because the TV news is only reporting that Amy Winehouse gave her first performance since her public bust upand obvious drug addiction. Questions raised were 'did she not win because that would send out the wrong message?' and 'Should she have been invited.' Its all the press stirring up a fuss about nothing and just getting in the way of the main thing: the music.
The fact is, that the Klaxons won because their music deserved it and nothing to do with what Winehouse did or didn't 'do'. Well done, boys!
