Bon Jovi Glad He's Not A Druggie Like Pete Doherty

Bon Jovi says he’s glad he’s not a drug addled rock star like Pete Doherty.

The singer says he is glad that he has managed to stay clear of narcotics and prefers fine wines instead.

Referring to drug-using rock stars, he said: "Those people get a lot more attention. Like Pete Doherty. I hear he's great. But I've never heard a Babyshambles song in my life… I'd rather be doing what I'm doing.”

He continued to The Guardian: "I have a nice wine habit, but I was never into drugs. Why do I need something that's going to grind my teeth all night and won't let me get it on with a woman.”

Bon Jovi you grew in Sayerville, I grew up in East Brunswick, stop acting so innocent like you never did drugs. Pete maybe a little eccentric, but he is a poet and the best musican of this decade. John you have great hair, he has talent. You cannot compare to Pete considering the bubblegum rock you produce. Keep supporting the liberals in New Jersey. By the way alcohol is a drug too, I would suggest leaving your comments to yourself. Maybe you should help your sick uncle who needs money

Bon Jovi is a ****! He doesn’t have half the talent Pete has in his fingernail. That said, Pete’s a **** too for letting the drugs in the way of the music. Sure a needle here and there ain’t too bad and maybe good for the singsong as well. But too much makes Pete a dull boy and his tunes as of late has sucked almost as bad as Bon Jovi’s.

”I’d rather be doing what I’m doing.” -Bon Jovi Dear Mr. Bon Jovi, ”Cry Wolf” was a real cinematic gem. Keep up the good work and thank you very much for your comments on someone you don’t know nor have ever met, and have never listened to. Do you have any thoughts about Kurt Cobain? I heard he did some drugs in his day. Sorry, I forgot you’re better than that. Cheers, Daniel J S

Do you think anyone will know who Pete Doherty is in 15 years time... some sad has been! I think the passing of time and eventual sales will decide which one is correct.
