Pete Doherty To Face Drug Charges

[bearman🐻]

At this rate he'll be dead soon anyway. Then we can go back to speculating how long it will take Scott Weiland to OD.
 
 Here's a list of drug fiends that are surprisingly still alive. Feel free to add to my list (this is just a starter):
 
 1) Keith Richards
 2) Ozzy Osbourne
 3) Iggy Pop
 4) Eric Clapton
 5) Steve Nicks/Mick Fleetwood/the rest of Fleetwood Blow
 6) Richard Hell
 7) John Frusciante
  Nikki Sixx
 9) Jimmy Chamberlin
 10) Scott Ashton (Stooges)
 11) Blackie Onasis (Urge Overkill)
 12) Kelly Deal (Breeders)
 
 Any other famous rockers who have OD'ed or battled drugs publicly again and again? Let's rack 'em up.

Yeah...you're right. I was just numbering them in the order I was thinking of. Apparently D'Arcy from the Pumpkins is a big drug fiend nowadays and Jimmy is clean. But back in the day he was quite the smackhead.

Roy Clark was once a huge coke head.

Roy Clark once played Santa at the White House, and his pants fell down.

I just thought of another...Al Jourgenson from Ministry. He was living down in Texas and went out of his mind a couple of times. Did anyone ever hear about how he had hooked up with Tammy Wynette and got her into coke? I wasn't sure if that was just urban legend or if it was somehow legit.

Lou Reed
 Anton Newcombe
 Brian Wilson (with a heaping dose of mental illness)
 Paul Westerberg (off the wagon these days)
 Greg Dulli
 Jim Carrol
 Nick Cave
 Steve Jones
 Jason Spaceman

Courtney being another very obvious one that I forgot about. Scott Weiland is way, way up there too.

Anton Newcombe
 Brian Molko
 
 two that come to mind...

[bearman🐻]

Brian Molko...I didn't know that one, but it doesn't surprise me.
 
 Another one: Mike Ness of Social D. Big time smack user but cleaned up his act. Thank God for that.

Jesus...this has moved beyond funny.  I stand by my earlier statement - Most inept dopefiend ever.

This is starting to get ridiculous.
 
  Death, taxes, and Pete Doherty getting arrested

[bearman🐻]

I love it...but what does it say that they keep letting him out, again and again? He's a wanker, but the system that allows him to keep getting out of jail is ridiculous.
