Pete Doherty disapears up own arse

According to Digital Spy, Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has said he is this generation’s most important rock star, and is the new John Lennon.

No you’re not Pete. You’re an over-rated druggie who people only know about because you’re shagging Kate Moss and taking ridiculous amounts of drugs. 90% of people probably can’t even name one of your songs.

Someone really needs to give him a good slap.

I Fought The Law

According to the BBC, a phone salesman was reported to the police after requesting London Calling by the Clash to be played during a taxi journey. The offending lines were the following:

London calling from the faraway towns, now war is declared and battle come down.

London calling to the underworld, come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls.

This isn’t the first time a Clash song has caught the attention of the police. In June 2004, Mike Devine from Bristol was questioned by police after he sent a text message including some of the lyrics to the song “Tommy Gun”. Ths song includes the words “gun” and “jet airliner”.

Harraj Mann, who is the phone salesman who was questioned, said the following…

I mean obviously the political climate these days is like walking on egg shells, but I mean there’s caution and then there’s taking it to the point where it’s absurd and ludicrous.

One wonders what Joe Strummer would have made of it all.
