Discombobulated Doherty

Pete Doherty, Kate Moss' mess of an ex-boyfriend and Babyshambles rocker whose life is in shambles, definitely knows how to get an interview going. When Mark Binelli of Rolling Stone Magazine tried to track down the crackhead junkie, who is surprisingly NOT in jail after being arrested what seems like 15 or more times on drug charges, he not-so-surprisingly found him in a ramshackle drug den in Hackney, England.

Pete kicked off the Q&A session by snorting a few lines of heroin. With the party started he proceeded to smoke crack, shoot heroin and take an ecstasy pill over the next three hours. All was done casually and openly except for shooting up. Pete got a little modest, excused himself to the kitchenette and turned his back to Mark. Stage fright. He offered Mark both heroin and ecstasy but not crack. Greedy crackhead. Mark apparently declined. That’s what I’d say to. I’m sorry but you’d have to be on drugs to sit through this. According to Mark, the more drugs he did, the more he seemed to relax. He never became incoherent but did occasionally seem confused. He was probably confused about what drug he should do next.

I’m still trying to figure out why Rolling Stone wanted to interview Pete Doherty of all people and why a reporter would go to some crackhouse and watch him do three different drugs in four different way in a timeframe of three hours. Is Pete Doherty really the story of a lifetime? I think the British government should just lock Pete up in a little house and give him all of the drugs they confiscate from other crackhead junkies and let him enjoy himself. Is there really any other choice? They'd need to develop some kind of 3600 step program to get this guy off drugs. I recently read an article about pharmaceutical companies developing new mediciations to help people stop abusing drugs and alcohol -- I bet Pete would the guy who would figure out a way to get high off them.
