Well you certainly won't find 'soul' in an Oasis song, lets be honest. I can't think of a band more devoid of soul. Whether you like them or not, surely you wouldn't argue that their music has any real soul or feeling?
As for the 'identikit life' comment - this is exactly what I'm complaining about! So many people accept low standards in their lives: crap mainstream TV, shocking music, jobs that make them unhappy etc etc. My wish is for people to reject all that and to strive for something better.
And I am as working class as anybody, by the way. I'm also proud of my roots. But that isn't a reason to accept poor quality, is it? Many - possibly most in fact - great artists are working class.
what's happened here is that you've tried to be a smart-arse whilst having a dig at oasis but have let your mask slip. a few people commented on your first post, you looked back at it and realised what an arrogant prat you seem. then you deleted your post so that nobody else could see it. unluckily for you, a couple of posters (myself included) has quoted it already and there's nothing you can do about that.
you talk about people accepting their lot in life and lacking ambition to strive for better. who the fuck are you talking on behalf of? i consider myself an average bloke. i was brought up in salford, have 3 kids and a mortgage and work in a factory that i really cannot stand. i applied to join the police 4 years ago and got through every stage only to be told that there were cutbacks and i wouldn't end up with the job. i don't just accept my job but when you have a family to keep, you often take the safe option.
also, on a saturday night, we have often sat and watched the x-factor. i appreciate it may be well below your standards but trying to find something we can watch as a family is difficult and i actually enjoy having a laugh and a sing-song with my kids.
i also fucking love oasis. i reckon that just about rules me out of any future invitations to your candlelit suppers but quite frankly, you seem a bit of a tit anyway.
