A mural with a difference this week I hope you like it.
A few weeks ago while in Wallingford I noticed a scooter drive past & park up in the square along with a few others. Well I can't pass them with out taking a photo as I used to won one. This one took my eye, it was a tribute to Amy Winehouse.
Taking Part in Mural Monday
Nice scooter. Amy Winehouse, such a tragic life she lead, so much talent gone to waste.
ReplyDeleteGranted she could sing and she wasted her life but she was never a favorite of mine may be it was how she lived put me off.
DeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy
DeleteI can imagine it cought your attention. This is a very special tribute to Amy.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too
DeleteGreat ! My lucky number in gold on a car.
ReplyDeleteBest regards, Synnöve
Not a car Synnöve but nice to see your lucky number somewhere.
DeleteI am wondering what kind of owner has such a scooter. Nice but also a bit morbide.
ReplyDeleteA fan no doubt with his own personal tibute
DeleteA rather tasteful tribute.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was good
DeleteNice photos!
ReplyDeleteI am very happy with my camera, Bill!
Greetings, SK
Thank you, these were done with my Phone, did not have my camera with me
DeleteIt's totally fabulous Bill.. What an amazing paint job! She was a tragic soul but I actually really loved her voice ..
ReplyDeleteI thought the same as you but I'm told by the scooter rider I had been talking to that it was a wrap, but hay I'm not complaining I thought it was brilliant.
DeleteA nice tribute. She had such a wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was great
Deletewow, what an awesome find! she was very talented...such a sad story...
ReplyDeleteVery sad she wasted her life away
DeleteHow interesting. Someone was obviously a big fan.
ReplyDeleteYes they were, I loved it
DeleteThat is an expensive paint job! Awesome find!
ReplyDeleteNo it's a photo wrap IE vinyl
DeleteSuch a tragic life...
ReplyDeleteYes it was Birgitta very tragic
DeleteThat is quite an image. I never listened to Amy Winehouse and would have not have recognized her from the bike "mural." An interesting tribute to a life of sadness.
ReplyDeleteI think it all depends on what music you listen to, I tend to like listening to the latest music in the charts and she was always in the news over here. She was a good singer not taking it away from her. A bit like a modern day Janice Joplin
DeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteFine to all the above...meanwhile, great takes!! Edinburgh cold and grey, but I'm here at last!! YAM xx
Good glad you got there safe
DeleteUnique.
ReplyDeleteI like it !
It is that, first I have seen like it
DeleteDefinitely different! The art work is great. I just read something about how so many different rock stars have died at age 27. That's kinda' weird and definitely sad, such a waste.
ReplyDeleteVery true, too many die young and wasted
DeleteGood one, Bill! It was a great loss when she died.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat
DeleteAmazing photos of such a unique piece of mobile art....
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie, I took them on the phone
DeleteDying of alcohol poisoning does not sound like a happy person. Addiction comes with so many attendant problems that suffering seems to trump the day. I wished she could have gotten a hold on her demons and lived to develop her incredible voice.
ReplyDeleteDrink is a hard habit to kick when it gets hold, I found it hard but managed now I prefer to have a cup of tea or coffee. Much as I was not a fan of hers it was a great waste of life & talent
DeleteOops, forgot to say that I liked the image and am pleased you decided to link with this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteNo problem it is a favorite of mine
DeleteSuch a tragedy. I think that's a wonderful tribute.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very cool of them
DeleteHi Bill, just spotted this great photo of my scooter taken by you in Wallingford .
ReplyDeleteI thought I should maybe explain my thoughts behind the design. The theme is my humble tribute to a women who I consider to one of the greatest female vocalists of my time and also to her massive contribution to music.
When asked in an interview by Harpers Bazaar - "do you have any unfulfilled ambitions?"
Amy replied "Nope!" ... "If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl."
She will always be forever 27 in my heart.
Your welcome Micky. I had a GT200 back in 1971 and loved it till I nearly got killed on it one morning going to work. Girlfriend was not impressed so the scooter went. I got rid of the wrong thing. Snice then I still have a love of Lambrettas and the designs on them. Yours was one that stood out even though I was never keen on her antics she could sing. Your bike is also on Flickr as well. Hope to see it around again some time.
