Pete Docherty, anybody care?

[Andy Boz]

Todays Mirror, he bought a car. Wow! Just because he used to be/is/may be with a stick insect supermodel wench, do we care about him and do we need his evvery move reported? Discus please

[Hammer Head]

Pete who?

[brachiopod]

I'm with you Andy in a don't-give-a-stuff-so-much-that-I-don't-know-why-I'm-even-answering-this-question sort of way. If you get my drift?

Bloody 'meeja', self-gratifying bunch of sh*ts who really think we are actually interested in the sh*t they come up with that they invent more sh*t in an attempt to publicise the sh*t that no-one gave two stuffs about in the first place.

pete docherty is great. all geniuses flick up from time to time,the stones, the doors, the who, kajagoogoo . every song youve ever loved has been written by a stoner and believe you me the papers are milking him

[Booldawg]

the big news was he 'bought a car' as opposed to stealing one.

[netibiza]

I think the only reason it was reported was because his 7th car was towed away, so he bought an 8th one. Can't be in his right mind. Rather irresponsible. Too much money not enough brain.

[WaldoMcFroog]

Aren't you publicing him yourself by writing about him rather than ignoring him? ;-)

[jules1968]

I do not care about that sad little junkie or bloody kate Moss. Why oh why do the tabloids have such an obsession with this pathetic pair of druggies?????? i don't even think she's beautiful !!! she won't be anyway, when her septum crumbles like Daniella Westbrooks. How anyone can be interested in him is beyond me! What the **** has he done anyway, apart from go out with her and get sacked from another band who were equally as crap as babyshambles??

[jules1968]

did you see live 8??????????? My 2 year old would have done better!!!!

[ll_billym]

Well you bought the paper.....

If you don't want to read about Pete Doherty buying a car, buy The Times.

[Supernick]

He's a genuinely important musician, who commands an adulation with a young audience that most of us cannot comprehend and she's the most famous supermodel ever. This makes them just about the biggest young celebrity couple in the UK, so stuff that they get up to is going to make the tabloids, especially when it's such a car crash (no pun intended) story.

We don't need their every move documented but enough people are interested to sell papers!

[undercovers]

we get the media we deserve - i echo billym if you don't want to hear about stories like this stop buying the tabloids, they would soon stop their crappy story lines if you stopped giving them money...

[Andy Boz]

Thanks for the comments. I buy the paper mainly for the crossword and Sudoku, but find that prat has 3 pages devoted to him getting a car. I don't normally make a judgement on so called celebs, so I downloaded some Babyshambles, and can agree that the shambles part is correct. The media fascination with this pair gets right up my nose, which is probably better than the stuff that gets up their noses.

Thankyou

The record companies would have us believe that the money made by CD pirates goes to fund the drug industry. But the money rock stars make from legal record sales ends up in exactly the same place.

[Zorr0]

I am not familiar with this individual....is he famous in England?

[Andy Boz]

Zorro, he was in a group called Libertines, now ina group called Babyshambles. Neither of these I feel will ever be held in the same regard as say Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, or The Smurfs.

He is however better known for his on/off/on/off /who cares relationship with Kate Moss, and as such the british media seem to ram it down our throats. Yesterdays episode of the saga was PD had bought a car. because his old one was clamped.

Hopefully this explains for you.

Regards

[Zorr0]

Thankyou for your explanation. Basically he is more famous than his worth.

[ll_billym]

Basically, to do it properly he needed to go a few more rungs up the ladder before self destructing, like some of the really great rock stars.

[buildersmate]

Buy the Times - the crossword and Sudoku puzzles take more than 2 seconds to complete.

[jgs]

I've heard him described as an important musician and a genius on here. Why? The importance of his extraordinary talent and creativity has clearly passed me by. It's hardly groundbreaking stuff. Don't buy the bullsh*t tabloids I say.

[Greedyfly]

Why are we discussing it if we don't care about it?
