Fun With Lyrics

Let's look at some lyrics today:

"They tried to make me go to rehab but i said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when i come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but i won't go go go

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh i just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend"

Last week Amy Winehouse, the artist who wrote those lyrics, went into rehab and ended up staying only 48 hours before leaving and getting a brain scan. How can you write a song like that, have it become a huge hit, and then start drinking hardcore again and go into rehab again. I'm not a wordsmith but I believe that makes you a hypocrite. Its very similar to my ex-wife writing a song about how much she loves her husband and would never leave him in the middle of the night on the anniversary, but then she does that. Also similar to Snow.man's song about not becoming a complete a@#-hole when he becomes a lawyer, and then he becomes a lawyer and becomes a complete a@#-hole.
