Those obssessed with R and R, creativity and tortured artists will always covet and promote the tortured drug addled artists as being cool, creative bees knees. The reality is, they will either die, go straight or fade away. Would Kurt have been as interesting if he was not who he was. Would Johnny Cash have been lauded should he have been a car salesman. Would Iggy be as cool if he had not sucked cock to get heroin, Ask any welfare/social services department whose kids are in foster care - drugs are not sexy.

The Babyshambles album was at the very least much much better than anyone expected and at most a pretty god record. Up the Bracket was one of the best straight forward rawk n roll records of the decade. Juvenile comments aimed at nothing more Doherty and steeped in grammer school humor only make you look foolish. Of course it is his fault for abusing drugs and doing drugs is bad. Not being able to put forth a well thought out comment and and inabilty to think critically is just plain stupid. See the BV thread on Mellie for proof.

As the night wore on and Pete managed to render himself incoherent, the night simply continued to plumet. He is a great writer/songwriter. It is sad that he can't seem to face himself to embrace that talent. The drugs are part of the romanticism. If he were able to come 'clean' and focus, no doubt, we would get some incredible material. To see that state that he is in, from an arms reach, at the current time is really pretty saddening. The whole night in the end was really saddening. His life seems to be in self-induced shambles. His living space is disasterous. I'm still wondering why I had to take off my shoes?
