[bomp] how it happens
I admit that Oasis is goofy, and while the whole comparison to the Beatles
thing that followed them around during the mid-90's was pure hype, I've
heard many, many bands on the radio that suck worse.

I remember, living in San Francisco at the time, there was this guy who would
get all the big writing gigs about rawk, you know... for Pulse! (who I also
wrote for on occasion), BAM and other newspapers... he was more living for the
big freelance gigs. I can't recall his name right now, but, he was in my
social circle. Anyway, the newspaper or magazine, some big entity, flew him to
London from S.F. to do a big cover story on the band. You know, some writers
live for this kind of free lunch; that's why they got into this. At the
beginning, and end of his story, he wrote that Oasis was "the world's greatest Rock
'n' Roll band". Meet Ben Dover...
