Oasis nonsense

Noel Gallagher has criticised Bono and Thom Yorke for political stage talk, and reports suggest Liam Gallagher may appear on Countdown.

Well, we often diss the Gallaghers when they go into diss mode, but sometimes Noel's little rants can be quite amusing. In the latest rant he's been dissing Bono and Thom Yorke for getting too political in their live shows. He says that the singers should stop droning on about how fucked up the world is, and get on with singing their greatest hits. On Bono, Noel said: "Play 'One' [and] shut the fuck up about Africa", while on Yorke he continued: "Thom Yorke sat at a piano singing, 'This is fucked up' for half-an-hour. We all know that Mr Yorke. Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed,' at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play 'Creep'. Get over it".

Talking of amusing Oasis stories, rumours are having it that Liam Gallagher might guest in Dictionary corner on Countdown because he's such a big fan of the show. The always reliable Daily Sport quote Carol Vorderman thus: "Liam loves it and yes, we're in talks about him coming on. I told him I think it will do his cred no end of good".
