no we don't we hate celebs who are celebs for entirely spurious and dull reasons like going out with a "super" model or taking crack cocaine. there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY any red-top (or any other publication other than Dis/NME) would give a shit about Doherty, were it not for the above.
england's most famous musician can't play, write or perform music. what a pathetic situation.

i'm not here to play mybandsbetterthanyourband, "chum". but i'd genuinely like to hear any libertines/babyshambles fan argue successfully against my point, above.
look at drug-fuelled musicians throughout pop history: from Hendrix and the Beatles to Dylan, VU and Bowie, from the Mondays/Roses to...well, even to Primal Scream and Spiritualized...there's a huge, huge world of difference between these folks, and Doherty.

substitute "rancid hardy's french fries" for "big mac" and then you'll have a more accurate metaphor.

Craig, are you going to defend Babyshambles too?

As for people critical of the record, I always thought it was because of the weak songwriting and half-finished feel of the album. A lot of strumming and mumbling. They seem to have left the hooks and the passion back on Up the Bracket.
