Noel Gallagher to have a beer with Jay-Z
Jay-Z Detractor Cops Pleas, Oasis Front Man Says Comments “Taken The Wrong Way”
What I had meant to say was. That’s what Oasis front man Noel Gallagher should have say right after the comments he made regarding Jay-Z headlining the Glastonbury Festival. Instead, he’s copping pleas now.
“I wasn’t saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than hip-hop as a thing or whatever it is,” Gallagher told NME. “I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this.”
Originally, Gallagher commented on Jay-Z being chosen as the first rap act to head up the musical event.
“I’m sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music … I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”
Hov not only brought the house down, but he also brought the Brit down to Earth when he entered the stage. Jay-Z walked on stage with a guitar and sang the opening notes of an Oasis song to the cheers of man. The rapper even roasted Gallagher in the opening lines of his new track “Jockin’ Jay-Z,” which he premiered last week with Kanye West at Madison Square Garden.
“That bloke from Oasis said I can’t play guitar/ Somebody should have told him I’m a fucking Roc star.”
Gallagher, however, has no plans to respond.
“For my own part I can sit here and say I never dissed that guy,” he explained. “I never would. But there’s no point in going on about it, because you end up sounding like Heather Mills: ‘I said this! I meant that!’ I’ll have a beer with him one day and it’ll all be fine.” Jay-Z Detractor Cops Pleas, Oasis Front Man Says Comments “Taken The Wrong Way” ... more -

Noel Gallagher wants knives off the street
"In my day, status was trying to be somebody, do you know what I mean, not trying to kill somebody?...People say it's through violent video games and I guess that's got something to do with it.
"If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk and they come so desensitised to crime because they're playing these video games, it's really, really scary."
Maybe people like Noel will actually be able to get through to kids instead of the suits like hug-a-hoody Cameron and arguably the most boring man on the planet Gordon Brown. Maybe Gallagher should take a more active role instead of waiting for tweedledum and tweedledee to make things worse.

"It's ridiculous, if we don't embrace what is new, then how do we progress? I've never actually experienced anything like that before."
Emily Eavis was excited to announce that she'd booked Jay-Z for the event, "People will be really, really surprised. Indie kids who don't necessarily go to Jay-Z gigs, I think they'll be really excited about it.

Magnificant Oasis in the middle of nowhere!
This amazing place is built in the middle of the desert, around a small lake. Located in the Ica Province, near the city of Ica, Huacachina is known as the oasis of America, where many tourists come for the huge sand dunes and sand-surfing.
