Maybe I'm missing something here... A few years back there was this band called Marion - perhaps some of you remember them. They were your typical mid-table indie band, all sixth form lyrics and cheekbones. Anyhoo, after scraping the low end of the charts a few times and building up a decent following of middle class gurlies, the lead singer Jaime let his skag addiction get out of control and that was the end of Marion. The sad ending to the story is Jaime was convicted last year, reduced to stealing garden ornaments from outside houses in a posh Manchester suburb...
Now, that story is almost exactly the same as The Libertines - only theirs is being played out in Soho, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Camden and New Cross where they have a different view on the whole thing - I used to call it 'scabies chic' when I lived there - and they just love a bit of rough there... no matter if it's one of their own making a convincing job of it. I heard this filthy scummer last week on TV saying through shit stained teeth that you'd never hear a kid on a council estate listening to Muse. I'm pretty sure Mr Doherty has never been to a council estate in his life - maybe his Mum used to take a short cut through one in their Volvo estate on the way to Cub Scouts, so he thinks he's qualified to speak of such things.
Pete Doherty is not a troubled genius, he's just a weak willed middle-class fuck-up who is surrounded by idiots. I maintain that The Libertines were just Menswear minus a bathroom and Babyshambles are just a Jam tribute band looking for somewhere to practice.

Amen to that and well said.

[Skull Commander]

I just 'rediscovered' marion this week. Wierd.

[Doc Ascension]

I vote the arse wipe one.

[HummerOfIntenseEvil]

Middle-class fuck-up? Spot on!

He's a hyped-up twat, that's all there is to it.

[Child_of_bodom]

He is an over hyped up twat. Lets just be thnkful that he is probably going to kill himself in the near future. Oh and Kate Moss is just as bloomin bad.

[DrinkDrankPunk]

Fuck 'em.. bloody junkies..

The Libertines would be nothing without the publicity generated by Doherty the junkie.

I may be in the minority, but I liked Pete Docherty when he was in the libertines. Even if he is a complete crack pot, he writes some decent songs.
