Yep, very positive response for this one.

Oasis, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

My favorite Oasis story is the one in which singer Liam is a no-show (sore throat, he says) for the band's performance on MTV's Unplugged, leaving big bro Noel to sing the songs.

Noel does a pretty good job, but  shortly into the performance the band is heckled by an obnoxious gent in the balcony.

That gent?

Yeah, Liam.

The brothers Gallagher had some great times.

My favorite bandmate brothers:

1. Vinnie & Darrell from Pantera
2. Eddie & Alex from Van Halen
3. Chris & Rich from The Black Crowes.
4. Liam & Noel from Oasis
5. like the whole band Kings of Leon, except the cousin
HONORABLE MENTION: Hanson . . . I especially like the one who looked like a girl back in the "Mmm-Bop" days & now sings for Tinted Windows

(NO MENTION of the Jonas Brothers, though I hear one of them actually has talent. Nick, maybe?)

Juniors:
The Waste Land, we explore.

Looking at recurring images, Mary Karr's "Central poetic experience," & other such things.

Greta, great poem

A heap of broken images.


Sophomores:
FORWARD!!!

We did some Mark Twain reading--the story of the watch was pretty durn funny, to be quite honest.

Literary response & analysis for the proverbial win.

be cool

  1. Re: noteworthy brotherly band members, I'm sure there's a perfectly acceptable reason why you failed to celebrate the sibling rock & rollin' wonderfulness of Alan & Derek Longmuir -- but I can't for the life of me imagine what that perfectly acceptable reason could possibly be.

    S-A-TUR-DAY ... NIGHT!

  2. AGGGHHH!!

    forgot Bay City Rollers . . .

    & for future reference: the new #1 will be Aodhan (guitar), Finbar (vocals) & Cedric (drums)

    whatever they decide to call their band . . .

  3. Hmmm ... Potential band names for Aodhan, Finn, & Ced, huh? Sounds like an ideal extra credit project.

    My first five thoughts:

    * The AFC Experience
    * FoxFyre!
    * Consider the Lobster
    * Dramatic Mauve
    * The Pope, The Pope, The Pope & The Cardinals
