I'm perpetually in two minds on this fella. Depending on what day you catch me
Half of me has him down as this poor misunderstood kid, complete with massive demons that he obviously has no power to shift (as god knows he's had the chance). He doesn't (or didn't) seem like your normal tabloid game-player, so must find being in that sort of spotlight a real burden that he clearly doesn;t know how to deal with. I pity anyone who has to deal with that scum (tabloid press) (sorry), and he's no different in that respect.
There's no denying his talent, and though I don't personally see eye to eye with him musically, there's enough (of the right) people that do to warrant a lot of respect for what he has in his head.
Plus the fact the old bill must see him as open season. Let's face it, coppers LOVE 'taking down' a famous person, and to think the amount of manhours that get spent on piddly little offences from celebrities must be obscene.
And finally, like him or don't like him, I'm still bemused as to what putting him inside would do, aside form the fact it may make the tabloids move onto someone else (and make them your figure of hate) for a week. I think the point that people are wanting to send him to prison
for possessing drugs. Aside from the hypocracy from anyone that's done the same (ok, maybe not smack, but...), I just don't think you all realise quite what you're condeming him to - he's hardly going to come off it (and sort himself out) inside, is he?
Which
should be what we're ALL aiming for, no?


And then ask me tomorrow, and I'll be e's nothing more than a drugged up tw@t.
The guy's had infitesssimle chances to sort himself out (the sort that there are millions that would die for), though has thrown them back at everyone. He STILL he perpetuates the image of wanting to destroy himself and everything around him, and seems to be immune from the fans because he wrote some moderately poppy poetry in his opium honeymoon, that young and impressional indie types would go for.
He plays the tabloid game (complete with superstar missus) to a tee, then, like most of those types, scream fould play when it goes against them.
Already has at least one (?) kid from a failed relationship, and continues to live the lifestyle that precludes him from ever changing that.
He's had numerous run-ins with the law, and maybe only a prison sentance would make him stand up and take note, because he seems to continually stick 2 fingers up to the law.
Oh, and would someone PLEASE think of the children etc (he's clearly idolised by far too many, when one person would be too much)


I just don't know, and least of all care, I suppose.
To be honest, all of that celeb crap only takes up a peripheral appearance on my radar, it's just that there's a few people that even decent news sources can't fill their screen time with (though you could say that wasn't his fault?)
