dont make me go and like you, pete doherty
fine, pete doherty has done it. bless him, he’s made me care and i said it would never happen. i read his prison diary as published here in the guardian. a lot of it is bullshit, yes, but i feel for the kid. i guess he’s not such a kid, he must be 28 by now. anyway, i cant quite decide if some of things he’s saying are trite or if i’m being too harsh, but he is growing on me. when he’s not too busy trying to write lyrics, which most of the diary feels like, he manages to sound like he’s not an idiot. the last paragraph is where he got me.
For my own sake - because it feels like they have the power to cut off my head - I must become a hero, organise my life and obtain from it what they deny me. If I live, in order to continue to live with myself, I must have more talent than the most exquisite poet. These people can only put up with the tamed heroes - they don’t know about heroism.
