That's a class of our own, my love...

Yesterday and today, I find myself feeling one of those occasional pangs of sorrow about Pete Doherty. He's such a talent and gentle soul. Eloquent, charming, and a genuine poet, his work the Libertines and Babyshambles shows a purity that manages to cut through all the drama and sensationalism around his life. I long for a reunion of the Libertines and, more importantly, a return to health for Doherty. He's got too much talent for him to completely fall apart from his own self-destruction.
