I can't say if he's 'up there' with Dylan, Young etc but given that he shows an exceptional natural ability to write profound lyrics I say he is a genius. If you listen to 'The Good Old Days' then you'll see what I'm taking about.He performs in small venues to benefit his fans, no because he can't fill out larger venues. He sold out the Royal Albert Hall in 20 minutes for Christ sake!

The songs he did with the libertines are my favorites to. I'm glad you agree. O look at us go! We're getting along famously!

Hahaha! You clowns! The 'sheep' are the people who go to gigs with thousands of people to watch a speck on the horizon. Intimate gigs are infinitely better, 'I wish' I was there. Pete Doherty - voted 'hero of the year' (amongst others) by NME readers yet there isn't one positive comment, me thinks some readers are jealous that a junkie can make it big...but they have nothing to show for themselves.
