IT'S DELIGHTFUL, IT'S DELICIOUS, IT'S DIVINYLS
Talk about doing your time on the road. Christina Amphlett, the smashing lead singer of Australia’s equally smashing group Divinyls is sitting in a Mexican restaurant on Manhattan’s upper west side, “reminiscing,” between sips of a marguerita, about an episode from her past that sounds like a scene from the imaginary screenplay for Midnight Express Meets Caged Heat.

Talk about doing your time on the road. Christina Amphlett, the smashing lead singer of Australia’s equally smashing group Divinyls is sitting in a Mexican restaurant on Manhattan’s upper west side, “reminiscing,” between sips of a marguerita, about an episode from her past that sounds like a scene from the imaginary screenplay for Midnight Express Meets Caged Heat. “It was a couple of years ago, before Divinyls came into existence, and I was bumming around Europe,” she explains. “In Spain, I got arrested and thrown in jail for six weeks, without any formal charges ever even getting mentioned. I think it said in the papers that I was a ‘suspected drug addict’ or something equally as ludicrous.
