Live Forever, the retrospective documentary on Britpop. Felt like I could do with a laugh and all that. My God, it's hilarious. Too many funny moments to mention them all but I have a special affection for the moments when Albarn squirms like an animal being dissected during the questioning relating to his band's feud with Oasis: "I just... felt... stupid... and confused.... I was heckled in the street." Or this pearl from Noel Gallagher on his working-class origins as opposed to Blur's middle-class upbringing: "I'm not saying I'm better than [Albarn] is but he's never been on a building site. He's never had a paper round. So my soul is fundamentally purer than his is." But the highlight is Liam Gallagher's reaction to Jon Savage describing him as having an androgynous quality: "Androgynous? What does that mean? What you sayin'? You sayin' I'm a bird?"
Oh my, what fun.
Oh my, what fun.
