Live Forever, despite rain in "legoland": Oasis making fans happy at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, no matter the weather

8. Re your having had no idea how excited you'd be to see them - I'd had no idea how impressed I'd

be by their music when I took a closer look at it again, after I'd initially dismissed it in the '90s because of a lack of time then, plus dislike of what seemed like arrogance, plus their sibling rivalry reminding me of my own brothers, only worse.

As this tour has progressed, I have felt unguarded affection for the Gallagher brothers. Amazing.

For me, the change had to do with learning much more about the abusive childhood they survived, just how bad it really was. They managed to channel that trauma and need to escape into music.

Which is, btw, another reason I want to see a resurgence of guitar rock, as opposed to corporate-crafted and assembled solo artists and pop groups. Rock bands can offer real support for young artists who need it. Neither corporate puppetmasters nor videos + tech on YouTube and TikTok can substitute very well for that.
