Did anyone else Cringe when Pat Kenny asked the young Breakdancer, Jack Lynch, if he'd ever thought of, 'Blackening his face up', as most Breakdancers are black?
It made for most uncomfortable viewing.

Down with the Kids...
There is an article in the Irish times which deals with the Pat Kenny/Pete Doherty Late Late Show...
The article tries to show how un-cool Pat Kenny is... Like it can be denied... But the article itself, is ridiculous, it is obvious that Mr Murtagh knows nothing about poetry.
For a start Doherty and Dylan are not poets, there is nothing poetic about the lines that he quotes.
He came off as an old man trying to be down with the kids and he failed miserably. For a start the lyric he quotes, and is so proud of, is, 'You charmed the Bees Knees of the Bees', Totally misquoted by Murtagh and therefore rendering the point he was trying to make redundant.
Doherty is a Drug addict who dated Kate Moss. That is all he is... He may attempt to write poetry with melody's but he is very bad at it, and therefore Pat Kenny did a very good job, for probably the first time ever… The only beef I have with him is that he compared PD with a true poetic genius, Shane MacGowan.

Pete and Pat...
It’s not often I side with Pat Kenny, but I just witnessed an interview with him and Pete Doherty on Youtube, and Pat is getting slagged off, by Doherty’s fans for asking him about drugs and Kate Moss, but I think there is nothing else to ask him about…
People refer to Doherty as a poet but he isn’t, he is someone who can rhyme Murder with Absurder… Drugs, Kate Moss, Getting arrested, A rock star for the Heat generation, that is all Pete Doherty is.
The only issue I have with Pat Kenny is the fact that he likened him to a true poetic genius, Shane MacGowan… There is no genuine comparison…
