After recovering from far too much sparkling errmmm... cider with a record-breaking TV binge, consisting mostly of Engaged & Underage, Ruby (I have no idea why), that crazy half-ton-a-thon on TLC that everyone I know got sucked into, and an overdose of Celebrity Rehab 2, I am now COMMITTED to sobriety: I've now been FREE from TV for like... 10 hours, I think? So far so good. I intend to fall off the wagon at approximately 10pm tonight when the new episode of The City airs. Oh Whitney. I just can't quit you...
So, speaking of sober, Pink's latest video (not to mention Rihanna's retreat into "Rehab" and Amy Winehouse's famous Heisman reaction to her treatment) had me thinking about sobriety songs (other than Alter Bridge's "Watch Over You"), which, in turn, triggered memories of Evanescence's 2006 single/ video, "Call Me When You're Sober," which went to #1 on TRL (R.I.P.!) and was famously written about Amy Lee's ex, Seether frontman Shaun Morgan.
And Evanescence, if you're reading this, as much as I love Paramore (oh yes I DID!), I totally miss you guys and want you to get back together soon (remember when we all shared a locker that year? that was so awesome when we all still got along), unless it means even more in-fighting of Guns N' Roses proportions. Amy, where's that solo album? Drop us a line, some new lyrics, anything soon! Or let's grab a decaf chai or something!
Anyway, which is the better bitter break-up video? Pink's "Sober," or Evanescence's "Call Me When You're Sober"?
