          I think Liam provides more off stage entertainment though.

          I particularly like the way he had to pay Stevie Wonder Royalties. I'm not sure if he had to also pay the writers of kids TV programme You and Me and then Gary Gliter.
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              The intended track listing for (What's The Story) Morning Glory included a song called called Step Out. The song bared a passing resemblance to a Stevie Wonder song called Uptight, but when asked to pay increased royalties to Stevie Oasis simply removed the track.

              There is another that sounds and has lyrics like like the kids TV show "you and me"

              "lots and lots for us to see"

                  Hmmm. At least in the US you get cross over of Country, Blues, Rock, Jazz, Dance, Electronica on the charts. In the UK its strictly Pop - which makes for a pretty boring Brits and a pretty boring UK music scene for that matter.

                    Oh yes - everything in the US is better...I forgot.

                      The Brits is just an excuse to see who could act like the biggest arsehole.
                      I like a handful of Muses' songs but it's quite repetitive after a while. There hasn't been any real class about for quite sometime. The last real classic album I brought was The Holy Bible 13 years ago.
