Do you want to work in radio?

[Guest staghead]

So its likely Pete's going to be locked up for up to 7 years.

What does everybody think?

I'm personally a fan of his music, I hope he can sort himself out and turn things around :-)

[Dynamoo]

I never got into his music, it's his own fault for doing all the drugs that he did.

here here,i agree with dynamoo.Its his own fault and he has to get out of it himself.

[Ruokasi]

Never heard his music, will never want to.

He should be locked up for longer.

[Mr_Quincy]

you utter idiot. why dont you want to hear his music? because he takes drugs??

[John]

Its a shame he's like he is but the guy is amazingly talanted, he writes great songs and he has a great band

Idiot for my opinion? Yes Mr. Quincy.

I just don't like his music.

[Guest staghead]

I thought you hadn't heard it?

If you don't like musicians who take/have taken drugs, the bulk of the music you like will be diminished.

you dont like his music yet youve never heard it? strange one that

[Ruokasi]

Or I could just be aware of what it's like and don't want to listen?

Isn't "music" such an odd word? I think it's the spelling.

[DC]

Sadly i have heard his music and his latest song sends me to sleep, and reminds me of a sh*t football team. I have no sympathy for him really.

[Viv]

Pete Doherty is a 14-carat F*** up (excuse my French). That said... I do hope he sorts himself out. Not a good example to the World. And neither am I with the pretty language (!!).

Well said. Alot of the best songs of the last 40 years were wrote by people who were using drugs.

Who's this Pete fella ? I've never heard of him...

He used to date a twiglet...

Agreed.

I'm not sure Sgt.Pepper or Revolver would be as superlative as they are if the Fab Four hadn't dabbled in drugs. LSD is the main reason A Day in the Life and Tomorrow Never Knows are two outstanding songs.

[Guest staghead]

The list is endless, drugs are part of music culture and always have been, like it or not.

[Ema]

I didnt want to start a new thread but theres some news..

Harrogate! hahahahhaa oh brilliant I wonder where the centre is...

[tamba]

When he was on Johnathan Ross show last week he seem's such a lovely bloke. It's a shame he take's drug's but hopefully he will sort his-self out soon before it's to late.

[Guest]

Yeah, I agree with Tamba. I held a quite negative view of Doherty prior to his Ross interview but following that had decided he was a rather charming, comely man.

[Timsk]

I hate the fact that he may be taken by some as a 'role model' when he's clearly a very troubled man, but my opinion of him changed the first time he was on Jonathan Ross' show. He is very charming and somewhat bewitching, and I share Ross's wish to see him sort himself out and get clean, for his own sake.

[MaryMary]

He mabe a very pleasant person, but equally he may not - as with any celebrity we only get to see what they choose to show at any given time. For all his charm on a chat show, I remember his laughing and p*ss taking outside court all those times he was celebrating "getting away with it" yet again, laughing and directing insults at the people who were really just trying to help him help himself. Not so charming. And on a purely personal note, I can't bear the way he looks, unwashed, dirty, he looks as though he smells. How Kate Moss - or even someone decent - could kiss that mouth I have no idea.

[jembie]

They should just chuck him in prison.

He has had way more let offs than any noncelebrity person gets.

Yeah I liked the libertines and I have the Babyshambles album but he will be no great loss really.

[Behelzebub]

He is a very intelligent and talented person and it's a shame to see him wasting his life away through persistent drug abuse. I think he will probably sort himself out eventually as he gets older and (hopefully) wiser but he's clearly still got a long road ahead of him.

[Monitorabbit]

I agree with Helen. I think I got a bit of stick for saying something similar in a previous thread but he's a sensitive intelligent man, a tortured poet.
