flogging a dead horse
okay, look, if all the brokeback mountain coverage is getting old, can someone please ask the police to stop arresting pete doherty? i’m starting to feel bad for the kid. slightly. arrested, released, and arrested the same day? james frey should take notes from this guy. and maybe augusten burroughs too. on a side note (i guess this whole “blog” is side note after side note–will someone please help me find a point?) it makes me feel better if these people’s wretched stories are half-truths. i cant help it, i want people to be happy. i’m a nurturer.
where was i now…? oh yeah, pete doherty. the crazy homeless dude who used to be on avenue a and wore the headband all the time (occasionally he would set it off with a pigeon feather) was more together than this dude. i dont understand how people go on and on about pete doherty. i see the charm of the babyshambles, i do. i dont mind mess in music. i’m not in love with them, but i’m not going to turn off the radio if it comes on. but i think doherty’s celebrity status (well, celebrity within a certain sphere) should be revoked. it’s like a puppy that bites or a kitten that steals food off your plate. after a while, it’s not so cute anymore. and it’s not rock and roll to be an addict and miss your own gigs. it’s pathetic. im not saying he should be a role model, i’m just saying that i dont see why people keep glorifying him just for being a fuck-up. it’s like anton from brian jonestown massacre, at least how he’s portrayed in dig. this guy gets away with doing and saying the stupidest shit because people dont know what to make of it. so they say he’s a genius. i know what to make of it, it’s bullshit! anyway, whatever. wake me up when the collective “we” is over pete doherty.
