Well Babyshambles rolled into Greenock last night, and their much talked about lead singer did puke on stage.Hmmm.
I have my local paper, the Telegraph, which gives a kind of review of the gig and of Doherty. The paper is shit though and 'review' is quite a loose thing to describe it as.
The most amusing thing mentioned, was that the 'tele' reporters went out and about in Greenock town centre and asked people what they thought of Doherty. Amazingly 2 out of 5 of them thought he was good role model(?) Although you can take what you want from the statement as her full quote was " I know who he is. He has been in the papers. He is ok. I think he is an alright role model. He is a singer" So her mentality is summed up quite well. Another one said " I think he is kind of a good role model because he has been on all that and now he is clean and has got himself signing" Again. Hmmmmm. Just goes to show really.
Anyway, some moron at the gig managed to get on and hug Mr D but was huckled off for his troubles. Doherty had managed to sleep 'in' making their entry to the stage late, he got up well after 8 pm. On stage Doherty took off his shirt and said to the crowd " Dont laugh at me because I've put on weight since coming off the smack" He did drink throughout and puked. The tele says 'luckily Petes entourage includes a towel man who was primed through the night for any little crisis' suggesting he does that a lot or else they made it up to fill space as their journalistic skills could be folded up and contained in the box the size of a stamp.
Basically they said they enjoyed the gig, the crowd apparently enjoyed it, so maybe that is a good sign for Mr D, that he can have a decent career in music as long as he doesnt self destruct.
(the scariest part of the whole article was some guy who described himself as a pete doherty lookalike and muttered nonsense about how great they were. I wish I knew how to upload pictures form newspapers as the guy doesnt look like Pete at all, he is just wearing a silly hat.)

Great post - thanks for that.
Especially the bit about the looky-likey
He's a grade A nutcase.
He's a grade A tosspot. A total waste of oxygen. No doubt he has contributed to the downfall of Kate Moss.
LOL:D:D:D
Sorry but I had to laugh at that, that is funny
Sad.
My sentiments exactly,if he wants to live fast and die young let him do it on his own out of the spotlight without trying to gain notoriety.
But Keith Moon was a supremely talented drummer a great comedian and an interesting, talented, unique human being.
In short he was a legend.
Pete D just thinks he is a legend because some twat of a journalist in the music press once called him a genuis.
LMAO!!
Has anyone scooped up the vom and put it on e-bay yet?
Eeeuuuwwww, that's just plain disgusting :eek: and totally uncalled for
I bet it's on by midnight!
They can put Kate's septum on there soon, too!
Seen that idiot in the paper today too. Wearing a hat and a black tie doesn't make you look like Pete Doherty
I wonder how he gets paid - by the hour or by volume? If he's looking for promotion, there's a job cleaning out the birthing pool at my local hospital... :eek:
I know I couldn't resist...
giving him a slap with a wet fish and telling him to get over himself. Sad little git.
Yes, you're probably right there. Sorry :rolleyes: The late Keith Moon is probably quite the wrong individual to use as comparison.
Pete Doherty comes across as a total idiot. Is it true he went on a £50k bender? :eek:
