Man, what a life they had (and have).

I mean who else tongue kissed their brother in front of 80k fans and their mother?

Who else wrote hundreds of iconic rock songs (including love songs) about and for their brother?

Who else told the whole world that having sex with their brother is "okay if you're on tour"?

Who else made their brother sing "you're my lover I'm your brother"?

Who else got kidnapped by their brother because said brother wanted to have alone time with you after you got engaged to a woman after said brother sang to your face "don't let me be the last to know" and then you made him the last to know about your engagement?

Who else had an almsot-15-years feud with their brother openly talked shit about each other on the internet and interviews only to create the most heartbreaking songs about each other and communicate with those songs with the whole world watching?

Their marriage life has been one carnal, bloody fight. I was born hating my father: as early as ever I can remember, I shivered with horror when he touched me. He was very bad before I was born.

This has been a kind of bond between me and my mother. We have loved each other, almost with a husband and wife love, as well as filial and maternal. We knew each other by instinct... We have been like one, so sensitive to each other that we never needed words. It has been rather terrible, and has made me, in some respects, abnormal.

I think this peculiar fusion of soul (don't think me high-falutin) never comes twice in a life-time - it doesn't seem natural. When it comes it seems to distribute one's consciousness far abroad from oneself, and one 'understands'. I think no one has got 'Understand-ing' except through love. Now my mother is nearly dead, and I don't know how I am. [Letters 1, p. 190]

It's a very convenient coincidence that Noel arranged the house and Liam's "transport" all in one day and Patsy just happened to be out of the country. Unless of course Noel pulled out of the tour knowing she would be out of the country and arranged everything so he could spend some time alone with Liam
