My Man Noel On the Stupid G8 Event
Gallagher, interviewed in today's Observer Music Monthly magazine, will not perform at the event, aimed at raising awareness about poverty in Africa and timed to coincide with the G8 summit at Gleneagles.
He said: 'Are they hoping one of these guys from the G8 ... sees Annie Lennox singing 'Sweet Dreams' and thinks, "Fuck me, she might have a point there, you know." It's not going to fucking happen, is it?
'Keane doing "Somewhere Only We Know" and some Japanese businessman going: "Aw, look at him ... we should really fuckin' drop that debt, you know." It's not going to happen, is it?'
2 days until my Summer vacation with Craigums begins. Man - I love Oasis quotes. Here are some more since they landed in the states. Speaking about recent bands limited success and the strange revival of Oasis (selling out every concert from MSG to Olympia)
"These things tend to follow the well-worn path where three or four, or five or six, bands come out at the same time, and everybody proclaims it to be fantastic," he says. "Really, are you trying to tell me Bloc Party are any good? Are you trying to tell me that fucking Franz Ferdinand are going to be around in three years time? You are off your fucking tits. Don't take any photos of yourself applying eye-liner while listening to the Killers. "
Amen!
