The fucking Libertines in general can fuck off especially that doughy face wanker Doherty, vile creature but the media froth over him like he’s the second coming of Byron (and I don’t forgive him Kate Moss who, CSB klaxon, I was briefly related to by marriage)
I “met” Docherty, we were soundchecking before being (3rd? 4th?) support act at the falcon?/bull&gate?/another Camden dive.
To his credit he came and watched for a bit with two girls hanging off him. They didn’t have a deal at that point but there was a queue up the street to get in.
An old band I was in supported him when he was in Babyshambles in the mid 2000's. He wanted to buy my Rickenbacker but his manager said no. He was really nice. Terrible music but he was charming and fairly normal for someone off his face 24/7

And so I bought a baseball cap
