BREAKING NEWS: Pete Doherty pathetic
Of all the bands I have hated over the past five years or so, The Libertines are right up there. And it’s not just because of the faux-pub rock. It’s because they’re a bunch of mooks who do nothing more than stumble around more and more pathetically, and sound like hell while they do (or did, I suppose, it.)
And none of them is more of a loser than Pete Doherty, currently heading Babyshambles when he’s not in jail or rehab or Kate Moss.
“But Pete Doherty just has drug problems!” you might say. Well, he certainly does. But now he’s starting to look like the late 20s guy who gives coke to teenagers so they’ll sleep with him. Yep, he gave drugs to a kid in rehab. Thanks, Pete, for proving to all of us that you’re really as stupid as you look.
We’ve had jailed rock ‘n’ rollers before. But I think Pete is the strung-out straw that broke the heroin mule’s back. I’m just glad this means I won’t have to listen to any more Babyshambles.
