As something of a connoisseur of rock n roll euphemisms, I was delighted that Amy Winehouse's 'people' tried to pass off her drug-induced hospitalisation as 'exhaustion' the other day. It's such a plausible excuse - after all, who among us hasn't been so worn down from work that only an adrenaline shot to the heart could get us though the day?
Other favourites of mine include:
'mystery virus' - drug overdose
'emotional' - arseholed
'creative differences' - singer shagging the bassist's wife
(of a new album) 'a raw vibe' - we ran out of money to pay for studio time, so we had to release the demos
'archive tracks from the vaults' - too rubbish to fit on the original double lp
'eclectic' - equally rubbish, whatever the genre
'crossover appeal' - we really hope Pepsi decide to license this
'this tour takes us back to our roots' - we couldn't sell enough tickets to fill a single decker bus, let alone an arena
Feel free to add your own suggestions
