This pair is a mutual protectorate. The look of pride on Noel’s face as Liam warms to the rant that will rattle the pots on tea-time radio says everything about this odd couple; the more pleased Noel looks with him, the more emotional Liam gets. They’re laughing and hugging. They’re two kids back in the playground, looking out for each other. Flesh and blood. Oasis. They won’t give it up. “I rate him,” Liam says of Noel. “I don’t hate him. How could I? Except for days when I could hate anyone, including meself. He doesn’t hate me, either. He’d have nothing else to write about, would he? And he lets me sing his songs. The best songs. I love him. He gave me a ticket to ride.”
