Noel Gallagher – (It’s Good) To Be Free (live Royal Albert Hall, London, March 27, 2007)
“I feel it, you feel it―we’re all struggling with the trouble that this industry is in right now,” says White some weeks later. “And it’s not about sales; it’s about beauty and romance and a relationship to art that’s turning invisible, and it’s affecting people’s perception of music. It’s affecting whether they think of it as a viable art, because it’s so fucking disposable. It’s not about being modern or retro or a Luddite or being hopeful or pessimistic about the future; it’s about clinging on to what makes sense of our lives, and what gives our lives value, and what gives us a commonality and a feeling of belonging.”
We all may be out of a job tomorrow, and the street outside may be full of desperate overflow from the neighborhood rescue mission, and we may need heavily armed escorts to safely depart if we loiter too long, and artfully convulsive rock’n’roll may be turning into a limited-edition boutique item for insiders, but on this blur of a March night, the strawberries tasted like strawberries, and the snozzberries tasted like snozzberries, and we were the music makers, and we were the dreamers of dreams.

Pas ça qui paiera nos pâtes, mais ça fait au moins oublier le reste trois minutes.
