People hear music on many levels and while Tracy's song is lighthearted, the serious concept of losing a relationship because alcohol was too important speaks to the absolute truth. Doors can open to greater awareness and steps to recovery by telling the truth about addition without preaching or moralizing. Tracy exclaims, ãThis song can strike a different chord in people. A lot of us, myself included, have learned the hard way that sometimes the drinkinâ bone is indeed connected to the lonely bone.âã
The PRISM Awards are described as a nationally-televised awards show recognizing the accurate depiction of drub, alcohol and tobacco use and addiction in film, television, interactive, music, video and comic book entertainment. They describe their mission as ãthe art of making a difference.ä Established in 1997, the PRISM Awards honor productions that are not only powerfully entertaining, but realistically show substance abuse and addiction. The awards will be held the evening of April 29, 2004 at the Hollywood Palladium.
The first PRISM music award went to Ozzy Osbourne's song "Junkie". If you visit, www.prismawards.com, you'll find more info about the category and previous award nominees and winners.
