And is it only me? I now find him as irritating as I used to find Princess Di. Another incomprehensibly famous person of no obvious intrinsic interest that seems to be shoved in your face everytime you open a newspaper or turn on the telly. Despite initially liking one Libertines track I thought their lps were rather dull, and can't muster any interest in Babyshambles at all (i note another band name consisting of two completely random words stuck together, ala coldplay and razorlight - have we run out of meaningful band names?). Possibly my dislike of them is unfair being due to already being sick of hearing about the guy.
Accidentally caught a bit of some tedious documentary on him on digital telly, and judging from the interviews he seems to take himself as seriously as the tabloids do. All that guff about being a libertine with no moral boundaries - does he plant bombs on public transport? Poison the water supply? fortunately not, it just seems to boil down to having bad drug habits and dating rich supermodels - so about as radical as Rod Stewart or Mick Jagger, then.
And his former bandmates now seem to be modelling for an unbelievably naff poster campaign for a designer fashion label.
