Next Year I Hope To Get A

My First Instinct When I Write Songs Is Not A Negative One. It's Something Positive... Everything I've Ever Done Has Some Form Of Hope In It, I Think.

I Wasn't Put On This Earth To Amass Money Or Personal Wealth. I Was Put On This Earth To Play Guitar And Write Songs.

I Remember The 70s Constantly Being Winter In Manchester And The Irish Community In Manchester Closing Ranks Because Of The Ira Bombings In Birmingham And Manchester, And You Know The Bin-workers' Strike, All Wrapped Up In It... They Were Violent Times. Violence At Home And Violence At Football Matches.

Oasis Were The Last Great, Traditional Rock 'n' Roll Band. We Came Along Before The Internet So, If You Wanted To See Us, You Had To Be There. It Makes Me Feel Like A Righteous Old Man.

Solo Artists Are Generally Totally Insane. Elton John? Slightly Eccentric. George Michael? He's Mad As Custard.
