Townsend leaves Leeds as he thinks its a ****hole

Pete Doherty is a true genius, and a poet.

I thought it apt.

 

..

 

And that's the most ridiculous thing you've said so far.

 

How lovely.

Every word was true.

 

Where is this so called genius these days

snorting, injecting, smoking, or still hanging on Carl Barats coat tails?

 

Unless he is writing great music, he is wasting his great talent.

It's a shame. One of the most gifted singer/songwriters ever.

 

You should call yourself Adolf Hitler, he was a true genius.

 

He's had is 15 minutes

 

Nah, if Hitler was a football fan, he'd probably support Leeds.

 

Really?! He co-wrote one decent album and has done nothing of note or importance creatively since.

 

Since Huddersfield fans call us Yids I find that unlikely.

 

Bollocks!!, Mike Batt was, he invented the Wombles and he wasn't even off his face in doing so!!

 

Two great albums.

His solo stuff is also good, but his career has obviously been seriously hampered by his personal problems.

If they'd stayed together a bit longer the Libertines could have become true greats.

 

1 decent album, 1 mediocre album and then a pile of ****e. No-one would consider him anything near a genius were it not for his drug problems, which for some reason seem to elevate some mediocre musicians to "troubled genius'".

 

He was a football fan, and he supported Schalke.

 

If Robson & Jerome had stayed together, they'd have become true greats then

 

Nearly every Libertines song is brilliant.

 

Will check it out Steve...been on the piss all weekend so missed all the goals..

 

Speak for yourself..
