      DN4Man no that’s because Noel Gallagher is the greatest combined rock n roll songwriter, composer, singer, lyricist of all time. Better than McCartney, Lennon, Dylan, Nilsson, Young, Bowie, Townsend, Mercury, Waters, John, Joel and Lynne. And even Grohl (an astute music aficionado knows this). That’s why. Not because he doesn’t want to appear to be an asshole. But because Noel is a living musical genius with just a tad more God like qualities than all the other geniuses mentioned, it’s called reality not perception.
