Pete Doherty

Peter Doherty (born 12 March 1979) is an English musician, songwriter, actor, poet, writer, and artist. He is best known for being co-frontman of the Libertines, which he formed with Carl Barât in 1997. His other musical project is indie band Babyshambles. In 2005, he became prominent in tabloids, the news media, and pop culture blogs because of his romantic relationship with model Kate Moss and his frequently-publicised drug addictions.

Early life

Doherty was born in Hexham, Northumberland, to a military family. His father, Peter John Doherty, was a sergeant in the Royal Signals, while his mother, Jacqueline Michels, was a lance-corporal in Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. His paternal grandfather was an Irish immigrant from Cheekpoint in County Waterford; his maternal grandfather was Jewish, the son of immigrants from France and Russia. He was raised Catholic. He grew up at a number of army garrisons across Britain and Europe, with his sisters Amy Jo and Emily. Doherty was the second of the three children. It was while living in Dorset, aged 11, that Doherty began playing guitar, originally in an attempt to impress a female classmate, Emily Baker. He achieved 11 GCSEs, 7 of which were A* grades, at Nicholas Chamberlaine Comprehensive School in Bedworth and four passes at A-Level, two at grade A. At the age of 16, he won a poetry competition and embarked on a tour of Russia organised by the British Council.

    The Duke of Dorchester

    Pete Doherty is a retired American professional wrestler known by his ring name The Duke of Dorchester.

    Professional wrestling career

    Doherty began his career in the 1970s, wrestling for Vince McMahon Sr. in the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). At the time, McMahon's territory consisted of only the Northeast states, and Doherty wrestled all over in small and large venues. Doherty wrestled under the name, "The Duke of Dorchester" paying homage to his hometown of Dorchester, Massachusetts. The Duke was generally relegated to undercard status either wrestling against the stars of his era or against other undercard "jobbers". The Duke had a short lived run as a masked wrestler named The Golden Terror and was managed by Captain Lou Albano. Although, The Duke was used as "enhancement talent" in the WWF, The Duke scored upset victories against fellow preliminary wrestlers like Fred Marzino and Jose Luis Rivera, including The Duke defeating Marzino 28 times with no wins scored by Marzino.

    Famous quotes by Pete Doherty:

    "One minute I'm waiting for Kate to arrive to join me in the Jacuzzi for a romantic evening. The next thing I can remember is doing cold turkey in a vomit-filled cell."
    "I'm 300 grand in debt. Why do you think I'm going out with Kate Moss?"
    "Nice to meet you. I don't want to waste anyone's time but my name's Laurie Hanna, I'm from the Daily Mirror , have you got time for a quick 10-minute chat?"
    "Even life without drugs has gotta be better than this malarkey."
    "She was in a bit of a state and needed to know that I was OK. She managed to get a message to me saying how much she loves and cares for me. It really lifted my spirits while I was inside... Kate knows that I love the bones on her. She really is the most amazing person and her love means so much to me. When I was inside she was all I could think about. There was a point when we didn't talk, but as far as I'm concerned we never broke up. I just never accepted it was ever over between us and I don?t think she did either."
    "Yes, I have seen Kate again."
    "What? Them? Sure, I'll do that."
    "A lot of people basically are obsessed with the missus and I don't know really ... she's just a bird from South London."
    "It's just some sort of mistake, that's all,"
    "some sort of mistake"

    Sweet By And By

    by: Pete Doherty

    2,3,4,
    Was it so long ago
    When we've first hit the road
    I remember
    Those earliest shows
    When we used to go
    Pa pa ra pa pa,
    Pa pa ra ra ra ra ra ta ta
    Was it so long ago,
    When you said you loved me so
    And we kisses untold
    Your love wouldn't have fall
    Oh my where did you go
    Oh I don't know
    You didn't say goodbye
    Where did you go?
    Oh you lie,
    And you left me wandering, wandering
    Your love's just a lie
    Everyone said you've found some other guy
    Well all I do is hang my head and cry
    Sometimes I moan, sometimes I moan
    Where did you go
    Oh I don't know
    You didn't say goodbye
    Where did you go
    I don't know, I was left wondering
    If her love was just a lie
    Everywhere I go people say
    "Who's that funny guy?
    All he does is hangs here down and cry"
    Sometimes he moans, sometimes he moans
    Oh, Oh why?
    When we used to go
    pa pa ra pa pa...
