Hello from Noel Gallagher

Here’s how Noel’s journal report from Minneapolis begins, as seen at www.oasisinet.com. What a … what word would he use? … wanker.
TALES FROM THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
10 December 2008
“Think we’re in Minnesota. Bob Dylan country. It’s cold, flat, grey and bleak. No wonder he f—ed off to NYC. Even the cattle look miserable.”

Hey, he’s right–it IS bleak, and I’m sure the cattle do look miserable standing out there, and California is a sunny, happy place with girls in bikinis. It’s beyond me why Minnesotans would be offended by someone stating the obvious. Unless they’re just super insecure….
Besides, I usually find Mr. Gallagher’s comments entertaining. It’s that British thing, to joke with people by giving them crap–oh, never mind
Cattle always look miserable. I don’t like considering my home “without hope,” and I will take offense when someone says that. That’s not insecurity, it’s pride in a place that I love.
But I guess I can’t expect someone who actually finds Noel Gallagher entertaining to understand anything about pride or self-respect.
Noel great!!!! just ask the arrogant prick.
I agree - I don’t think it’s cool to insult a place you’re performing in. It’s one thing to go with the cliche joke about “omfg it’s cold here!” but another to call it grey, bleak and miserable in front of it’s residents. Plus, where did he see cattle near Target Center? Minneapolis is one of the nicer and cleaner cities in the country, many have said so.
Take a joke people! Minnesota will always be home, but come on people…this place is flippin’ awful in the winter! England is foggy, Florida is humid and over-crowded, Wisconsin is full of Packer fans, East-coasters have bad attitudes, etc. These are all opinions. Take it with a grain of salt! If you love 30 below zero weather, more power to ya. Plus, if it so great, why do so many of our residents move somewhere else for the winter? Think about it.
Jason, because they’re p*ssies
