Pete Doherty should play in Stockholm and Malmö last weekend. SHOULD. Of course, he couldn’t make it because he lost his passport and was “sick”. I smirked when I read about the cancelled concerts and thought about my experiences with the scandal-ridden British rock star. I tried seeing him twice.
The first time he didn’t show up because he was “sick”. The second time he was about eight hours late. When he asked the public to throw money on the scene I decided that I would never go to one of his concerts again. He said that he was so poor and really needed the money.
Anyway, because of Pete Doherty’s visit to Sweden the City newspaper published an article about Swedish bad boys on Friday. The only guy City came up with was the musician Andreas Kleerup. Yes, the guy who did the song “With every heartbeat” with Robyn. The reason for his bad image was his statement “Some people smoke. Other people smoke other stuff” and some rumours about cocaine abuse.
OK, Pete Doherty and Andreas Kleerup have in some way a similar style. A little bit fucked up. A little bit “I don’t care”. But is Kleerup really a classical bad boy? I think he is a real Swede-heart compared to Pete Doherty. No scandals. No anorexic supermodel girlfriends. No fights with band members. The fact that Kleerup has maybe secretly smoked a joint on the toilet doesn’t make him a bad boy, isn’t it? At least not outside Sweden!
But this is something that I like about Sweden. People are so good and innocent…and they always start their concerts in time…

This is hilarious; putting it quite frankly, he is scum. Mr ‘My daddys a general in the army but i act like i was hard done to and brought up on the street.’ No-one in the right mind would waste money to go and see this con artist. He sounds like a talentless drowned rat; he is a talentless drowned rat. Sweden doesn’t warm to and certainly doesnt need this tosser.

He may be unreliable and a bit of a waster but 5 minutes of him is better than a life time of conveyor belt waxwork dolls like amanda Jenssen or prats like Kevin Borg. As a swede we need someone and something above mediocre and Pete can provide that.

To actually call him anything other than mediocre is a great understatement, given what people may perceive to be mediocre.
