Yes

Pity him and Winohouse cant form a drug induced suicide pact

[poohshunny]

In short, yes. He is an unwashed, ugly lowlife druggy in my opinion. Leave him in prison to rot! Then again that would cost the taxpayer money, so on second thoughts give him pure heroine and let him die. That would be one less druggy to worry about!

[RevFunk]

His "career" has been based purely on his drug taking antics.

Ive got more talent in my ar5e

im counting the days when they find him dead following a drug overdose, then at least they will stop putting this idiot in the papers

Hes a waste of space, and looks like he needs a good wash!

[Gromit]

As with Amy Winehouse, I like Pete's music, and consider him to be a worthy artist, but his personal life is a shambles.

Hopefully they can keep him away from the drugs, which are ruining his creativity, while he is in nick, and his genius can shine through again.

Rather than being past any help, this could be just the help he needs.

What a waste of ferkin space.

Amy Winehouse?

What you mean that Grammy winning, ridiculously talented best female singer we have?

I can't speak about Doherty because although I have The Libertines CD, I've not actually listened to it yet...but really, listen to 'Back To Black', you'll be taking your words back in minutes.

[R1Geezer]

maybe he will get some help in the slammer Gromit but I'm told they're wall to wall steam tugs in there so won't it just be more of the same? In fact he probably won't even realise he's in jail!

Sp, aren't we being just a little unfaithful to Kylie here?

Amy Winehouse, ridiculously talented? Best female singer we have? Really?

[sp1814]

Twenty20

I'll accept that it's impossible to be objective when judging the relative qualities of various female singers, but I have the recent CDs by Amy Winehouse, Duffy, KT Tunstall, Estelle, Adele and Jamelia...

There simply isn't anyone to touch Winehouse in this country at the moment (subjective statement).

Listen to 'Tears Dry On Their Own' from the 'Back To Black' CD and you'll see what I mean.

Kylie isn't British.

Also, she's become a bit rubbish recently (average new album, bad videos, fat ankles).

[R1Geezer]

we are a bit fickle SP aren't we? However on your recomendation i'm gonna add a Winehouse to the Geezer collection and give it a go, back to black you reckon for a beginner like me? I don't agree with all the steam tugs etc but I'll give her music a chance.

Prisons drug trade 'worth �100m'

iAn estimated �100m worth of drugs are being traded in prisons each year, an ex-prison service worker has said.

And that's just Pete's stash.

Give it a go, R1Geezer,

Even though modern soul music, especially the stuff with Mark Ronson involved, is generally hotel-lobby background noise (or music for people who don't like music) that album really is undeniably brilliant. Hopefully we can put the genre to bed now. ;-)
