Since my knowledge of music is hardly comprehensive, I know Pete Doherty mainly as boyfriend of Kate Moss, usually in the context of "Oh my god she's so chic why does she have such bad taste in boyfriends? HE IS SO GREASY!!!!" Ehhhhh... drugs are communal, I imagine Ms. Moss doesn't fancy a straight, clean-cut fellow. But as for Pete Doherty and his music, he's not half bad. Yeah, it's clear they are on multiple drugs. Yeah, it's a little I'm so discontented with the state of the world, fuck forever, fuck life, just sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, that kind of depressive, self-pitying sludge that writers pulled off in the 1920s and songs only caught up in the 1960s, and it's really a bunch of men coasting towards middle age but unwilling to grow up. But it does rather capture the moment, does it not? Very modern.
