16 : Pete Doherty

I can't remember who it was who referred to Pete Doherty as a 'moon faced cunt' , but it seemed to fit so well that I have called him that ever since I heard it.

What I really don't understand about this whole thing with him is why he's regarded as some sort of song writing genius. I mean fucking hell have you HEARD a Babyshambles album? They sound no better than some pissed up pub band. I can't remember the first Babyshambles song I heard but to me it sounded like someone doing a Pulp song at a drunken karaoke.
I mean don't get me wrong here , I own around 55 Fall albums ,If anyone can appreciate a piece of music written by a pisshead it's me , and I do think The Libertines debut album has some appeal to it, it's just very limited. That's why I only listen to it about once every 3 years. I find it tends to get old pretty quickly.

I don't think Pete Doherty has anything particularly interesting to say , he's just a nice middle class boy acting the rock star using obvious targets to write about to appear deep and edgy , and people seem to fall for it. Let's face it if he wasn't out with supermodels and having a celebrity drug habit would anyone really care about some third rate Billy Bragg wannabe?
I measure his contribution to music solo-wise to be as about as important as Donny Tourette. don't be fooled just because one sings cock rock and the other uses acoustic guitar and 'meaningful lyrics' that doesn't make the music any more substantial they're just as bad as each other.
