Gallagher goes ga ga
At a time when it seems like all of today's pop stars were created in some artificially bland test tube, programmed to say absolutely nothing and offend no one, it's always nice to see Noel Gallagher popping up and spreading some much needed bile.
And now it seems the gobby Mancunian has a new ambition -- he wants to appear on Coronation Street.
Speaking on Jo Whiley's radio show, the singer remarked: "I'd love to be on it, it's such an institution. How I haven't been on it after all these years is a national disgrace."
And why is he so keen to appear, even as a brief cameo? "I'd love to punch David Platt in the face. And then go on to his mother."
Obviously this column couldn't approve of violence against anyone, even David Platt's mum, the hamster-faced Severe Gail Warning.
But we can surely all concur when he complains that James Blunt gives him a migraine when he starts lecturing the rest of us about the perils of air travel and hope we should be doing more to protect the environment: "James Blunt is bad for the environment that surrounds my f***ing head, man."
Too true, Noel, too true.
