Brixton Street-trade set to go through the roof!
Junkie, crack-head Pete Doherty of band 'The Babyshambles' and formerly of 'The Libertines' Has been granted a special bail so that he can perform a concert at Brixton's 'Carling Academy'.
Now.... I'm born and bred in Brixton! Why Lout? was born and bred in Brixton! We know what Brixton's famous for! We understand that it's not the safest place in britain! Now, as a judge/ courtroom. Surely you have the knowledge of the significance and symbolism that is incured by allowing a crack-head to perform in Brixton? Surely? This is the man who admits to smoking crack with his fans when he's not attending his gigs and causing riots. So how do the Brixton Police feel about a stadium of potential crack-heads coming to 'crack-central'? Surely, the policing of the event will be more extravegant and expensive than any other day in Brixton's calender? Maybe they'll just park their 'Welcome to Brixton! Everything you've read is true!' Jeep outside the tubestation like they usually do?
We'll see! It's more than likely that the event will go off without a hitch! But it's certainly the least secure gig that could be booked in U.K. Music right now! So who is it that will suffer? The industry? The Sun (Who have embraced young Peter and his PR Company with open arms)? The NME (Who lambast 'The Sun' for not being down with crack-heads earlier!) Rough Trade? Geoff Travis? Alan McGhee? Then again what is it they say? 'All publicity is good publicity'? The Baby Shambles/ Smackyshambles (Thank you Ed!) Will move millions of units, the publishing on the singles will be worth a mint, the tours and the merchandise likewise. Where does Pete's cut go? Straight down to Brixton! Well..... The judge sent him.
His blood's on allot of people's hands! The list appears to get bigger by the day..... What's really sad is that he's just a boy! Just a boy on a drug! Like any-other in the U.K. It's so, not his fault that it is actually quite upsetting! But the people in charge of his career place this poor, child at the forefront of this PR movement and of course he will bare the brunt of it! Could even cost him his life.....
