Hellraiser Pete cleans up his act
Sunday Independent, 23/10/2005

PETE DOHERTY Has always needed a lot of drama in his life (as well as crack, heroin, cocaine), but I never figured his drama as the kitchen-sink variety. But that is exactly what it has become in the post-Kate Moss period.

Last Tuesday night, after a dinner in writer Victoria Mary Clarke's house in London, Pete actually asked to do the dishes. This would be a little like Eamon Dunphy appearing at your door and offering to hoover the house.

I'm not one for moral judgment, but it is good to see that Pete - since breaking up with Kate Moss - might be cleaning up his act. He came around for dinner with Shane MacGowan at Chateau Clarke in a new suit with a tie pin and cuff links. His ex-girlfriend Kate Moss, whom he still clearly loves, is in rehab and no one has spoken to her.

The other dinner guest, Shane MacGowan, was mulling over a possible new album with the Pogues. He is also due to play Brendan Behan in a movie of JP Dunleavy's The Ginger Man with Johnny Depp. Victoria is travelling to New York with Shane next week to meet Johnny and Dunleavy himself to discuss the project.

It's the tie pin and cufflinks that make it sound genuine to me ............that and the absence of any of Mr Librtines' entourage gobbing on anyone.

Perhaps some of the rumour is true. Shane was in New York at some Ginger Man party, according to some article in the New York Sun today:

The Ginger Man Celebrates Its Eponym

Brooklyn-born author James Patrick Donleavy, who grew up in the Bronx but expatriated to Ireland, returned to Manhattan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his classic novel "The Ginger Man," about an uncompromising hedonist named Sebastian Dangerfield. Over the years, the book has been praised by many - including Dorothy Parker, John Lennon, Kenneth Tynan, and Van Morrison.

The party was held at The Ginger Man, a bar named for the novel and located at 11 E. 36th Street. The bar's owner, Bob Precious; the author's son, Philip Donleavy; and two of the author's friends, Bob Mitchell and Stefano Ferrari, were hosts.

Shane MacGowan sang "The Boys of Kilmichael" and "Peggy Gordon." Film director Laurence Dunmore read a passage from a draft of "The Ginger Man" that never made...
