Fearing that Amy and Blake would become the Sid and Nancy of the current generation, Giles urged the public to boycott Amy’s albums until she got herself straight. He also faulted Amy’s label, Island, for looking the other way. “We believe that the record company should be proactive in helping the couple get better,” he said.
