In Babyshambles.

I think I understand what Kate Moss saw in Pete Doherty now.

The constant sight of Kate Moss and her proclaimed cokehead bloke on entertainment shows being chased by the paps hurts the eyes very much. Sure, we kept preaching Ms. Moss to leave him, but why did it take so long for her to do so? I mean, look at what he did to her! She was lucky that Karl Lagerfeld had her in a Chanel campaign after the whole fiasco.

But after listening to Babyshambles, "Coke"erty's band after the split from Carl Barât and The Libertines, I finally understood. She saw his music, not his heart.

Perhaps his music was his heart and soul, it's ashame I can't ask Monsieur Doherty myself. But without ever knowing that Doherty was the bloke behind the punk revival tunes of Babyshambles, hell I'd fancy him just a tiny bit. He's not the most striking lad, but that would be too shallow, no? ;]

Shotter's Nation and Down in Albion have been on rotation for the past 24 hours, and there seems to be no stopping it. The raw frankness of "Fuck Forever" has got me hooked. Doherty's voice with that edge of Northern accent is quite dreamy, if you get that crackhead image out of your head.

Could it be possible, that he is at his music-making prime because of coke? Bono has cigarettes, Mick Jagger has heroin, and Pete Doherty has coke. Would stopping the use of coke would weaken his ability to produce amazing music? That would be disappointing, for like any other good soul in the world, I wouldn't want to push him to keep using horrible drugs, that's just not part of being a good soul. But the thought of a cleaner Doherty making squeakier music is troublesome.

Nevertheless, there is no point being concerned over the future of this band. They seem to be well-off, making awesome music for ones that truly appreciate their work, not their druggie facade. Things are well, with or without that supermodel. What's her name again?
