Papa Pete


There's no such thing as a curse in the old fashioned superstitious sense (it's all power of suggestion and mass hysteria), but there is such a thing as a genetic curse. Pete Doherty's son Astile will one day learn this...the hard way. Hopefully he will be able to cultivate a sensitive, artistic persona...then people will be willing to put up with his misbehavior. You can act like a punk all you want if people think you have deep currents of feeling running underneath. If you're a plumber or a window-washer and you behave that way...well, then you're just a scumbag.
