Hi Alex! Are the babyshambles coming to US?
I can't see it happening at the moment to be honest. He and his band mates have to learn to complete a UK tour before they should even contemplate crossing the pond. The current tour was postponed and has just started up again. As I'm sure I've told you before, Pete has a habit of ruining gigs with his drunken antics and sometimes in the past he just hasn't bothered to show at all.
It's all about Pete. If he can pull himself together and the band can FINALLY get they're album released, who knows, maybe they'll have a future. It's all doom and gloom at the moment. The whole Kate Moss affair hasn't helped. Maybe now they've split, some of the attention will be taken off him and he can concentrate on getting his once promising music career back on track.

I've always wanted a piece of Kate Moss.
These pics people are talking about would do nothing but give me a woody.

Hello, Speedfreakjive. I think Pete Doherty is brilliant. I haven't seen him on Live 8, but I've seen his live performances.
I don't think he's a brilliant front man (like Iggy or Mick), but I do think he's a brilliant songwriter.
Come to think of it, I don't think Dylan is a great live performer either...lol
Yeah, but i don't think he really takes his music seriously. He's more of an image figure. |

Pete Doherty DOES take his music seriously. It's his drugs consumption that gets in the way. The crack and heroin abuse has seriously clouded his judgement and attitude over the past couple of years. If he weren’t an addict, the Libertines would probably be working on a third brilliant album now.
It's the press and his relationship with Kate Moss which has rendered him "An image figure" Its sad, but true.

LOL! Hey SIA I was half joking there big guy! Although I will say this. I think that a young woman who has gained so much through her work,and has children is very admirable. To fuck all that up by digging into a sack of blow is just flat out stupid. Coke is a very fucked up drug,and I have never once done it,and not felt guilty for it the next day. Hence I do not do the shit anymore. If your a rock star you get a pass,right or wrong,because your fan base will still buy your album,or go to your concert. A model who gets caught in a compromising photo risks loosing her contracts. That is exactly what has happened here. She got caught because she was stupid,and has had a reputation for drug use. The media were looking to bust her. We are talking about the British tabloids here afterall! Clumsy,and stupid is no way to go through life.
As for the celebrity angle of it all. Cry me a fucking river Kate! Gee,sucks huh? I know damn good and well that her kids will not be removed from her custody,and that is because she IS a celebrity. Plus she's loaded. If there were a picture of me,or you,doing lines our kids would be in state custody. That's a fact.
I just have a tough time feeling sorry for someone that is so careless,and reckless with their drug intake. Especially when there are children involved. When I decided to have kids I quit doing the things that I used to do. It's called responsiblity,and Kate Moss has shown that she does not feel that she has to change her lifestyle to fit her motherhood status. I think that's what I would call selfishness. Hey I'm no angel. I still love my beer,and the occassional joint,but once the kids came into the picture the blow,and all other narrcotics went out the window.
Plus Kate Moss did not write "Satisfaction"!

okay riffy - put like that i can see your point a little more clearly
i agree with what you say re celebrity in that it does grease the wheels but i think that's more a function of the money that comes with it as opposed to the celebrity per se(i.e. if some other dude had been caught in keith's toronto position then the odds of him getting off with some type of community service order would have been in direct proportion to the amount of $$ he had to throw at the problem - but there's no big surprise in that whether you like it or not) - also keith's abundance of cash made the trafficing charge a nonsense - but i digress
i still maintain tho (celebrity or not) , that a double standard seems to apply when it comes to the reaction a woman gets as opposed to a man inthis sortof situation
and no kate didn't write satisfaction but then keith never fucked johnny depp ('tho i wonder if jonny wouldn't have jumped at it if he had the opportunity!! - not that there's anything wrong with that!!)

OK we cool then. I completely agree with you on the double standard issue btw. The thing is that she should know that fact going in. That's why I have a tough time feeling sorry for her. She HAD to know what this kind of photo would do to her career,her reputation,and her kids lives. Yet,she chose to put herself into a very compromising position. I also agree with with whoever said that these "journalists" are out there doing blow themselves. Hypocrisy abounds in these little clique circles.
Ofcourse,a picture of photojournalist "John Doe" won't bring in the big bucks! It's all about the cash! Fucking pathetic if you ask me! Kate Moss' life,and career is fucked right now because of her blatant stupidity. Meanwhile the cat that sold the picture is sitting pretty,and probably celebrating with an eight ball of Peruvian flake,and bottle of Cristal!
As for Keith doing Depp? Uh,well....that's a visual I don't need.

Alex, I agree with your post.
If it wasn't for Pete's self-destructive tendencies, the Liberines would still be an active band.
What is Carl Barat up to now? |

Carl Barat has either gone solo or has formed a new band. I did hear something about it on the radio, but I can't remember. He’s playing gigs either way. However, John Hassel, the Libertines bass player, is in a band called Yeti. He's the singer and rhythm guitarist. I almost went to one of their gigs a while back and apparently, Carl Barat was there propping up the bar. A friend of mine at the gig said he was very approachable. If I was there, I could of asked him for you! |
