Music reviews of Plastic Letters
Music Review: FOR AMBER.....
Rating: 4 Stars
As a health inspector in urban Australia it was my job during the early 90's to inspect the various registered brothels. Prostitution is legal here. In Melbourne's eastern suburbs I had to report on a newly established brothel called the "The Steak House." Simply put this cramped two bedroom house was decked out with the usual tacky Chinese paper lanterns, dimmed lights and Karma Sutra pictures on the walls. All this plus burning incense in a typical shallow attempt to create an intimate atmosphere.
The place was clean and up to code in all the necessary checks i ran threw, i.e condom disposal and clean bed sheets ect. It was midday and only two girls were working, both sitting quietly reading in each bedroom. The girl in the bedroom closest to the entrance was singing the words to Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" while the other girl actually had a small boom box and was playing Plastic Letters by Blondie. We briefly chatted about music and eventually I invited her to go see Debbie Harry play at a local night club in the upcoming weeks. Amber was her name and she was a huge Blondie fan, and was probably looking forward to this gig more than anything else at this particular time.
On the evening before the gig, Amber was responsible for a car accident which may have contributed to a series of other major car crashes at a busy intersection. She ran a red light and multiple cars collided as a result. Four people were taken to hospital and two people died. However the cops only charged Amber with running a red light incurring a $200 fine. They called her every filthy name under the sun, but due to the laws, had to treat the other crashes as separate accidents and not connected to Amber's driving error.
She phoned me from the local cop station and after went straight to the gig, where i met up with her. During the support bands she informed me of the details of the crashers. She was physically ok, but feeling horribly guilty, particularly due to the deaths which occurred. To calm her nerves she told me she had taken several Valium. I noticed she was throwing back alcoholic drinks like their was no tomorrow. During the gig itself i virtually had to hold her up as she insisted on standing near the front of the stage.
In the taxi ride home she lost consciousness and was rushed to hospital where she died from a combination of drugs causing her heart to slow then stop. I have forgotten the technical term the doctor used.
Due to the fact i only knew Amber for a few weeks and was not a family member I was not allowed to be by her side when she passed. The authorities could not locate a next of kin. Even after searching her apartment and exploring personal documents. I could offer no assistance, but decided to place an add in a Melbourne newspaper in the hope of locating a relative. I had no success. Plastic Letters is a good cd of early Blondie material, but is a cd I can not easily listen too for obvious reasons. R.I.P Amber Liechtenstein
