For many people, it was the
hedonism, the don’t care attitude, that summed up Oasis best.
Music journalist John Robb, who
recently interviewed Noel Gallagher, said that’s the feeling that fans,
particularly of an older generation, will be feeling today.
“This is a moment in their lives
when everything felt possible,” Robb tells BBC Breakfast.
“The Oasis song Live Forever… in
two words, it’s quite poetic. [It’s] that power of pop music to soundtrack a
moment of your life when you were completely free.”
I’ll add to that: the two
brothers from humble beginnings singing about being a rock and roll star, or
about starting revolutions in Don’t Look Back in Anger.
Yes, it might be a Tuesday back
to work after (at least in the UK) a bank holiday.
But for Oasis lovers, today
is about going back to that moment of freedom, from 20 or 30 years ago.
