“‘Cause my family don’t seem so famliar…”
We didn’t really have much to say about The Split back in August because it was still, while both inevitable and not a small relief, a huge bummer.
Six months later, we’re finding ourselves hard-pressed to give a shit about it. Oasis’ last two albums (Don’t Believe The Truth and Dig Out Your Soul), despite a handful of great tracks, were mediocrity personified. The live show had become boring. And even The Funniest Guy In Show Business increasingly seemed to be at a loss for words. Clearly, things had become quite dire.
Leave it to Liam to put it all in perspective in proper Oasis style. Tonight in London at the BRIT Awards (the UK equivalent of the Grammys, though they’d lend themselves to far better live-blogging, no doubt), (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? won the fan-voted title of “best album of the last 30 years” or something. Liam accepted the award (from Slade’s Noddy Holder, no less – good to see that chameleon’s still lying there in the sun), thanked everyone in Oasis’ 1995 line-up barring Noel, swore, threw the mic and the award into the crowd, and swaggered off. That’s right – he omitted the guy who wrote the damn thing. Yep – he thanked Guigsy but blew off The Chief… because he’s still pissed off at his big brother.
You see, rock & roll is the stupidest and most juvenile of all art forms, and that’s why we love it. And Liam’s basically the distillation of 40 years of juvenile stupidity. Which is why we love Liam.
And why you do to. Check it out:
Live Forever, indeed.
