After spending time at Kate Moss’ cottage in the Cotswolds, Pete Doherty fancied himself a country gentleman and thought he’d take up shooting. “I want to get a shotgun and a flat cap and go shooting like they all do in the country,” he said, as paraphrased by a friend. “It could be my new hobby.” The friend said Pete figured if it was good enough for royalty, it was good enough for him. But, obviously, it wasn’t good enough for the authorities, who took one look at the rocker’s permanent record and refused to grant him a gun license. Of course, he was never granted a heroin license either, and that didn’t stop him shooting. (Fametastic)
