Pete Doherty charged with blackmail and robbery...

[Razzle Dazzle]

Pete Doherty has been charged with blackmail and robbery...adding to his recently acquired criminal record of possession of a dangerous weapon, burglary and drug abuse, most notably cocaine. Not to mention his sporadic attendees at his own gigs, either not turning up or being hours late with both the Libertines and Babyshambles. Is it just me or is he beyond a joke, this guy is a role model to millions of kids, they look up to him and think he’s cool. I hear people defending him all the time saying he has problems, well who doesn’t have problems, I surpose a super model girlfriend (Kate Moss isn’t it), millions of pounds, fame, talent and being a rock idol must be very hard compared to the average joe.

Anyway lol that’s my rant over, I don’t like they guy, he’s a good musician though, It’s a waste of a good talent.

There's sometimes a fine line between talent and madness.
Personally he looks like a bum and unless he sorts out his addictions, he'll be dead by the end of the year I reckon...

It's funny. You hear all about his addictions and crime, then you hear these random people who say that he is such a kind-hearted man etc.

Maybe fame has got the better of him. I don't think he needs to be scorned like this - as daz said he's a wonderful musician he just needs to sort his life out

I don't think that the Libertines music justifies the hype or the behaviour. It's not exactly syd Barrett is it?
