Who The F*** Is Pete Doherty?

Flicking through the channels, found this documentary on
BBC3.

Anyone else watching it?

Seems to me that parasites and fashion leeches haven't
learnt their lesson. They still cling to the every word and
action of people like Doherty, people who are clearly in a
bit of a mess. They elevate them to the status of poets etc.
If he's not careful he'll burn himself out and die young.
Then people will mourn him as a lost genius, whether he was
one or not.

Incidentally he isn't.

I guess people are just fascinated by watching predictably
unpredictable people self-destructing.

The sycophantic way people are speaking about him in this
documentary really is quite disconcerting. Is this really
what 'the people in the know' think the fresh face of
British music looks like?

I like his porkpie hats though. Been thinking of getting me
one of them. Was listening to a lot of The Specials this
summer and it reminded me how much I like those hats.

Yeah.. It didn't take me long to work that out actually.

The way this documentary is shot is hilarious. It's as
though they want it to be a 'summer of love' or 'on tour
with the Stones' type thing. When really it's just a bunch
of smackheads playing rather derivative rock music.

The compassionate side of me feels a bit sorry for him
though. I nearly lost a good friend to heroin. It's not a
nice thing for anyone concerned. Hope he sorts himself out,
if only for the sake of the people that care about him.

Hilarious, isn't it. The way Kate Moss is apparently
revelling in being the bad-boy's girlfriend.

Haha - They just flashed a message across the screen.
Apparently he's being interviewed by Kirsty Wark of
Newsnight Review next.

take on the English language.

He is talked about because TV and media companies know
stupid people will watch/read it and they are interested in
ratings/circulation figures. Enjoying it?

No need to be a cunt about it.

It was pretty boring actually, so I switched the television
off.

No, but I like the cut of his jib.

The 'cunt' remark wasn't directed at you by the way.

I wasn't trying to be. No doubt countless others including
those in the media feel exactly the same way you do about
Pete...but self destruction sells and yes, he probably will
be remembered as far greater than he actually is. He's just
another dirty filthy smackhead.

I just didn't like the insinuation that I'm stupid for
watching 10mins of a TV show about someone I hitherto knew
virtually nothing about.

Nice to know your tolerant of people with addictions too! ;)

fairground ride.

I haven't heard his music (quite glad) but if that first
picture is anything to go by then he's heinous.

hope this helps.

oh right, as though I have to see more than one of the
'random nerdy people' avatars to feel like I have seen them
all.

This is the only messageboard I come to, and even then I'm
not here that often, so I haven't seen it used except one
other time at this messageboard (who I originally downloaded
it from). If it bothers you that much I will change it.

He looks more like a "pikey" to me - from what I can tell
he's missing the tracksuit, trainers, cap and 'baad bwoy'
look of your typical "chav"...

god I hate that word.
