“What Kind of Fuckery Is This?”



Amy Winehouse: Political activist?

The rehabbing singer is pitching in to help preserve The George Tavern, one of her favorite London pubs.

Before she entered into a U.K. treatment center, the Grammy-nominee suggested selling t-shirts to campaign against a planned apartment development which, opponents say, will ruin the bar's unusual 360-degree light. (Parts of the pub date back to 1654, and the atmospheric lighting has been much praised by artists and directors.)

“Amy's a friend, so I went to her flat to see her and she was there with her hairdresser Alex [Foden],” the pub's landlady Pauline Forster tells PEOPLE. “We started talking about the way forward and she said, ‘We've got to do a Save The George t-shirt.’”

See? I knew all those stories about her were just lies perpetrated by the Man to keep a sister down. Instead of all fighting and shooting up, she's out there fighting and shooting up and saving pubs, in other words, the lord's work. You know what that makes her? An angel, an angel straight from heaven.*

God bless you, Amy Winehouse, wherever you are.
