Sorry if there is a delay in replying or if I'm away for short periods. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon says, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
For me Oasis were the band,
they were from my city,
and my decade,
like the punk bands of the 1970s,
they reminded us that
we could do something
that mattered.
And now, in August 2024,
so many years later,
a life-time some might say,
the warring brothers
made their peace,
to the delight of music fans.
There would be the inevitable scramble
for tickets, as those who were there
back in the day, and who were not born,
competed for a chance to see the band.
Having seen the band live decades ago
in what was arguably their prime
and mine,
I would not be partaking
would not be joining in the melee,
For me the band will always be
twenty-something scallies,
hope and hatred in their glare,
that tambourine jangle
as dangerous as a rattle snake.
In my memory,
those rock n roll stars
will live forever.

Wise decision, I think Tom. Times past are best left in the rich nostalgic memory. Well said.
Yes, that's my sentiments exactly. While I'm glad the two have patched up their differences, I won't be trying to get tickets. 🙂
The bands I have seen are best in their prime with few exceptions that mellow like a fine wine
Yes, that's my thoughts. If I hadn't seen them before then I'd be tempted, but yeah, as cool as I think the band reunion is, I won't be battling for tickets. Thanks as always for your comments, Soren.
Arghh! Are 'The Nolans' going to re-form? They're all aged about 150 now. Who could bear there singing again? lol.
All I heard Oasis sing - or say? was F, F, F, and F! Ooh!
Haha! Yeah, my parents had the same reaction. 🙂 My wife wasn't very impressed with the news either. Cheers, Tom.
But aren't Oasis aged about 150 now too? lol.
Oh well. I thought Liam had something good going on there with John Squire. The power of nostalgia....soon leaves the room.
Yes, Mutley. The stuff he did with John Squire was great. A strange blend of Oasis and Stone Roses. Maybe it'll be Ian Brown and Noel Gallagher after Oasis split again. 🙂
Ian and Noel? Definitely maybe arguments!
