diese freundschaft verdient auch einen thread!

eines der schönsten interviews, die ich je gelesen hab:

Pete Doherty and Peter Wolfe

I'm waiting for Pete Doherty and the Wolfman (aka his best friend and occasional songwriting partner Peter Wolfe) in the basement flat of a Hackney tower block. This is Wolfman's retreat, apparently, and every square inch of paintwork contains some arcane poetic sentiment scrawled in red or black ink. Just as it's emerging that the red-inked graffiti (sample: 'Manila killer I'm a gangster cut-throat') may not actually be red ink, Pete bursts into the room with a blood-curdling yowl. The Wolfman trails in behind him. Tall, gaunt and looking like he's just been out digging graves, this is the man who, according to some, corrupted the ex-Libertines and Babyshambles singer and led him down the hell-raising path to self-destruction.

Together they are at first terrifying. But when the dust settles, this pair seem anything but.

Describe your first meeting.

W: He was working in Filthy MacNasty's [in Islington, London] as a barman.

P: And the girl he was hanging out with was a regular and a mate of mine and she was always banging on about her fella.

W: I remember you came around in the morning and the girls were all there and we took a trip and drank in the pub and laughed, laughed, laughed, laughed, laughed. It was a really good day, but then I sort of lost it a bit in the end like a grumpy old git. That's my memory of that night, about five or six years ago I think. We spent a lot of time here, in the Wolf Den.

P: And we wrote all these songs together, these beautiful songs: 'Sticks and Stones'; 'Back From the Dead'; 'Delaney'.

W: 'Skag and Bone Man'.

So music is the most important thing for you?

W: We always have to be making music.

P: I'm the poor man's Wolfman when it comes down to it. I'm really jealous right now, because what he's writing is just out there.

Do you think your friendship has changed since you became famous?

P: I don't think it's changed at all, no. The things we dream about are still the same. Getting him out of the house is an issue, but when you're playing 'For Lovers' [their top 10 hit together, three years ago] in front of 5,000 people in Brixton, like we did the other week, and everybody's going mental to that song... Do you know what I mean? It's incredible.

W [paraphrasing from 'For Lovers']: 'We've got a nomination to turn the wolf out/But the key is mine/I keep a spare one every time.' Very important line.

P: Thanks Pete.

Do you ever fall out about your music?

W: I get pissed off sometimes that he's giving me no acknowledgment. When we first met I thought that I was going to be a mate. But obviously I'm not important. I'm just his little side-effect. [They both laugh.]

P [sincerely]: I love this guy.

W: If I could say something along these lines as well... Pete is the only man that ever ever ever - that ever ate a whole bag of Kentucky Fried Chicken in one go.

What's the best thing the Wolfman has ever done for you?

P: The Wolf Tidy. Even my missus [Kate Moss] the other day, she was like, 'How did you learn to do the Wolf Tidy?' It's a rapid-fire reconfiguration of the scene. After a night or two of absolute debauchery you get the Wolfman doing the Wolf Tidy, and all of a sudden, look, there you go, bang. Cleanliness! He gets the laundry done, puts the records back in order. He's the motherfucking king.

W: I like to be helpful. [Pause] Actually, I want to say this: Peter is the only man who ever believed in me. I'm in love with Pete, you know? He's the only man.

Can you be open with each other?

P: We can talk about anything. Because Wolf has seen it all. We're completely open. He saved me when I was drowning. He keeps me afloat. Look at this. [Doherty displays a tattoo on his arm, a skull and crossbones and the word 'Wolfe'.]

Is your relationship always positive?

P: I wouldn't believe myself if I said there weren't a few negative things about it. My girlfriend doesn't let me deal with Pete [Wolfman] so much. No, I shouldn't say that. Pete is one of the few friends of mine she actually does like.

Was she wary of him to start with?

P: Well, he was very different the first time I met him. He was working on a building site by day and trying to write songs by night. He was very aggressive back then.

He doesn't seem that way now...

P: He isn't. At heart. I've sat down with him and I've been with him and... He's different now. There's lots of madness and mayhem in my life, too, but me and the Wolfman, we can get on a level and have a good time. [He runs over to the Wolfman, hugs him and gives him a kiss.] There's not many people in the world I'd do that to.
