If we had cameras and gossip rags 24/7 following every minutia of our rock hero's lives of yesteryear I'm sure the shine would be off them as well. Could you imagine what we'd think of Kieth Richards if we saw him everyday fucked out of his head when he was on the smack or Jim Morrison all wacked out? We'd have a different impression of them for sure. We a person talent and drug habit are two different animals.Is he a junkie? fucking A he is and he's undoubtedly talented as well.
@stuartic I'm not wrong "mate." As I said before you can't appreciate this fucking great music which is a shame, if you don't like it then "why don't you fuck off?" -Babyshambles song reference btw.
@stuartic yeah i actually agree with you ,pete couldnt eat georgie best's crusts ,and although kate might be a massive super model ,i bet shes an arse
@NERDbub why would you hate him for doing drugs? almost all the great musical geniuses used drugs. you can't hate them for the fact that life makes a lot more sense when you're high.
"Do you think you'll change their mind?" YES! I definately think Peter can change their minds! Anyone with ears, a heart and any kind of depth will 'hear' what he is offering us, the gift of unique music like this. Anything else about his personal life - gossip etc, is his business.
thats a real artist,, you can get other people to sing and play the same thing, but a real artists are just born with something special that makes them stand out and makes ppl listen. but hes a murderer
Before seeing this when it was on TV, I disliked Pete as all I'd heard about him had been from the press. I saw this, and the next day I baught a Babyshambles and a Libertines album. Stunning performance, so beautiful <3
@jjjessicagoodman Too right. It doesn't matter if you love him, hate him or somewhere in between, as long as that decision has been made on merit, not just tabloid headlines.
Peter Doherty captivates everyones attention. For most of us it is his natural born talent that draws our attention - but I think even the people that don't like him are captivated by whatever it is that he has...they love to watch him to look for things they don't like about him. But I don't think they realize that here they are watching him too! So either way, he attracts people. We watch & listen,LOVE him or HATE him - if you are reading this, you are watching him... he got your attention.
@Cthulhu767 Of course it's your opinion, Doherty's work may be overrated but it definitely has some real highlights.
You're judging the mastery of that line by comparing it to the way you write poetry, but that, in principle, wouldn't make it a bad line but just part of a different style of writing.
I'd really like to read your poetry, honestly. You made me curious.
And no, I didn't insult you, and I'm far from asinine.
By the way, last time I checked, poets knew how to spell.
@Cthulhu767 Do you know what alliteration is? That, paired with the notion that birds (literally speaking) are light and not heavy contrasted with the figurative idea that girls are a weary load for the whole of a man's being makes it a really well thought out line. That's why I said it was beautifully crafted.
I really hoped someone would realize this too.
You seem to come from the United Kingdom. English is not my mother tongue and I find it apalling that you can't express yourself gracefully.
he's an artist: poet, composer, painter,...He may be a "junkie", he's awesome and no one can't say it otherwise! he doesn't wanted to end this way! when I saw his performance in France, he was ...speachless! long live Peter! He's the last rock star of this fucking century
@byrbypypy let's hope not, I mean in case I have kids I'd like them to have their own doherty like us. I really don't wanna think that camp rock and justin bieber are all which is reserved for the future generations, I fucking pity them
Though i do think it fits in well with the rest of the lyrics...since i think the song is about a woman in his life that he has lost...and now he's miserable thinking to himself that a woman is just too much work for any man to handle.
The chorus could be about either killing time or himself with drugs...or maybe killing her since if he cant have her no one can...but his is just my interpretation.
@BigNoseMusic its a gretsch. not sure which model but its one of the old jazz guitars. like big band guitarists used to play them coz of the warm tone. such a nice instrument :)
I understand girls loving him cause he's like fucking cool, and awesome singer, but why do they all say he's a wonderful person?!? He seems reasonable enough, but he hasn't cured cancer or anything
people can be wonderful even though they haven'r cured cancer or anything like that. lots of people are. hopefully, you are wonderful to someone as well.
and it just really depends on who you're asking :)

I'm pretty enough. You're implying that being a young woman makes me unsuitable for such a conversation.
It was me who called you a poet. If you write poetry (which you said you do) then you must be a poet. Simple. But... is what you write real poetry?
"Assuming statement"? It's a fact. You write awfully. Are your fingers too delicate to type? Terms like "asinine" won't save your soul.
Forget the author, forget yourself! It was always about the line!!
