I was reading Vice magazine on the can last night and there was an article where the author was hanging with Pete Doherty. He refered to occasions where Doherty would give short-notice solo performances in his sock feet at his apartment to whomever he could scrounge up in order to get 10p to score.

"I'd hit it"?

icky no no

He's a sick man.
Just like Shane MacGowan, I wish they would both just WANT to get well.

But, the media coverage of it is boring. That I do agree with.
Leave the poor slob alone with his vises.

That one's for Dalen.

Sadly, I think it's too late for MacGowan

How can we blame the media for this idiot being arrested everytime he leaves the house?

I was torn between he rocks and a judge needs to lock him away. I love his drug riddled sloppy music but he really needs to clean himself up and being put away for awhile might give hime a chance for sobriety.

When I worked at a record store we used to get sooooooooo tired of seeing his face on the British music mags. I just don't get what the big deal is? He's nasty looking and his music sucks. (The obvious answer is that he's entertaining... guess that counts for some people as "being in the entertainment business".)

I am going to take exception to your assertion that his music "sucks".
Maybe it's not as good since leaving The Pogues, but you cannot find fault with a song like "Fairytale of New York" or "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" or "The Sick Bed of Cuchillain" or... hell just about anything he did with The Pogues. Could you?

I think the board knows where I stand on things like this.

Dear Mr. Todd I would never ever say such a thing about the Pogues. "Fairytale of New York", "Lorelei", "A Pair of Brown Eyes", "Sunny Side of the Street", "Thousand are Sailing"....i love them all dearly, and the list goes on & on .... I was talking about Doherty.

You had me worried there for a second.

Dude. I love the Pogues.

this subject is about as old and boring as The Wrens.

I thought so.
I was confused.

The fact that Kate Moss was so dedicated to him for so long gives all men hope!

I'd hit it. Shocker!

I don't think the Shocker is possible with him.....or were you talking bout Kate? Then I'd really be confused!?!

ugh. ick. hate him.

Yeh, it's too bad neither the Libertines nor Babyshambles were as good as some shitty band of stringy-haired, Gitane-reeking, try-hards from Montreal.

oh, and the promo for Carl's new band Dirty Pretty Things is out, and of course it fucking rocks.

i'm just so fucking sick of hearing about him doing the samwe thing every week. die or go to jail already.

beat me to it. brothers in arms.

Pete is a visionary. He needs to smarten up a little bit but I got no qualms with him and in fact greatly admire his fine style.

"Fuck Forever" is a song that regularly rolls around in my head.

I feel the same as Cotton on this one.

The guy is a fucking mess and frankly I'm tired of reading about his assinine actions.

Gotta admit Doherty Pleads Guilty Then Kicks Reporter is a great headline.

People hate rock stars these days.
