People will hear what they want to hear and rear what they want to read, I suppose. This is shown most evidently in the posters on this thread using the Noel Gallagher interview on BBC4 to push forward their agenda on the issue of drugs, manipulating the words of the interviewee. Very strange behaviour.
I only posted to try and point posters towards what was actually said in the interview but it seems there is little hope of success.
Play nice, children.

Oasis were extremely popular in 1996 and at that time were probably more popular than the Beatles. That doesn't make them better musicians than the Beatles, just that there was nothing better at the time.
