Winehouse's Husband to Remain Incarcerated for 27 Months

Amy Winehouse's husband/enabler Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in prison today. "Blake Incarcerated" was arrested after assaulting a London bar owner and then attempting to "pervert the course of justice" following the assault by bribing the bar owner to abandon the case. Fielder-Civil pleaded guilty to the charges last month. Winehouse was not in court today when the sentence was read. Since Fielder-Civil has already served nine months in jail, he may get out of prison in 18 months. The judge said Blake Incarcerated's supposed drug use behind bars had a bearing on the sentencing.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
