A few years ago at a family party, the topic of conversation was about music and it had got onto talking about the likes of Pete Doherty.
My grandad took the stance that the tabloids had painted of Pete - stating he was a no good junkie etc. My little brother who works in the music industry has met pete a number of times, interviewed him and even jammed with him - was trying to explain to my grandad that yeah he's a junkie but he's also an extremely creative, clever, passionate and caring person.
Any Libertines of Babyshambles fans will be able to tell you about when they met pete or the party they went to after the gig and pete was there - he always has time for his fans. How many other stars have that?Anyway, so my grandad wasnt that impressed with my brother trying to persuade him away from his tabloid views.
My brother asked him "what kind of music do you like? - who is your favourite musicians?"
To which my grandad replied "Old jazz, music like Billie Holiday"
My brother came back with "grandad - she was a heroin addict"
and infact the whole jazz scene in the early part of the century was rife with heroin and opium.SO the question is, are you slating Winehouse for being a junkie?
In which case you'd have to lump Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Tim Buckley, Sonny Clark etc in with her.- these are obviously good, christian, clean living times.lowimpakt
- exactly. But there's also a difference between flaunting that lifestyle to the public (or at least not avoiding pictures)Jaline
- Pete Doherty did seem like a harmless, creative boy during interviews, but I can't separate him from drugs.Jaline
- Babyshambles, appropriate name for such a disaster of a bandmodern
