Oasis were one of the biggest bands of 90s and they weren’t quiet about their football allegiance. No one apart from some Sunderland supporters will give a fuck.Could he not just leave the football stuff at home? It has no place in music. Politics does, 100%. We all own political albums. I don’t own a single album about football. We had people moaning on here a few weeks back about Manic Street Preachers bringing politics to their live shows which was idiotic. They’ve made a career out of writing politically motivated songs. If you go to see them, then you cannot be surprised that there will be a political dimension to their show. Going to see some lad and feeling like you’re at a football match isn’t for me and it has nothing to do with my own intelligence. It is of course much worse because he is a Mag but equally I don’t want to go to a gig and wave a hundred Rochdale flags and chant their songs. The Mags are notorious for this. As pointed out earlier, I’ve been to gigs all over the country for the last 20 years and Newcastle is the only place you consistently hear football chants at gigs. They can’t leave it at home.
I have no doubt every word you have said is true. He does come across as a genuine and likeable young man.
No idea why people don’t understand that artists are popular for a reason. People like what they do.That is one of the most popular genres on the planet and he's near the top of it in this country. The hype is warranted really. It's not to my tastes, but I can see why he's very popular.
