Gossip rag fodder, drug addict, and occasional front man for Babyshambles Pete Doherty faced a barrage of bagels upon taking the stage in Moscow Jan 31st. According to The Daily Mail, one struck him on the shoulder, another landed on the stage, where he promply ate it.
It is unknown if the eaten bagel had poppy seeds.
The attack of Jewish bread products was sparked by Babyshambles taking the stage an hour and 20 minutes late. NME says that “Doherty failed to show up on time for the gig because he overslept.”
Pete Doherty’s antics have been far more entertaining that his music, which isn’t terrible. A few weeks ago, Doherty was arrested for drug possession inside a courthouse. Yes, he brought drugs to a court hearing.
On more tragic level, Doherty recented dated Robin Whitehead, who died of a drug overdose January 24. The Daily Mail reports that Whitehead and Doherty had a serious argument the day of her death. Whitehead was heiress to the Goldsmith fortune.
For those of you wondering why I waste time covering this guy, let me tell you why. Pete Doherty is Rock and Roll. He is the energy and attitude of Rock that the corporations try so hard to leech from it. Doherty is Ozzy, Doherty is Keith Moon. Doherty might be John Bonham, but I don’t think anyone can compare with Bonzo.
Doherty has the soul of a rocker. Unfortunately that sometimes makes you bring drugs to a courthouse, and other times leads to you being pegged by delicious bagels.
