Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, is taking the blame (or is it the credit?) for his daughter’s less-than-happy music, saying the troubled singer channeled her rage about his marriage-ending affair into her songs.

But he stopped short of taking responsibility for Winehouse’s drug problems: "It is easy for me to say it is my fault, and that had I been a better parent this would not have happened. But who knows whether it would or not?"

You’re right, Mitch. It’s hard to know whether a confidence-shattering affair that splits your family apart during your daughter’s most impressionable years could possibly have influenced her to seek solace in those all-understanding drugs.

Though, it's nice of you to share the family's dirty laundry with the world.

In case you have a smidgen of a thought that you might be to blame, you can always take solace in the fact that, in addition to a drug problem, you might also be responsible for her lovely eyebrow arch.
