[Whatever] Potential

[Jon Lacy]

Nice one Travis...

You see, he gets the point.  For f---- sake even the band has said it, there 
will never be the hurricane that was Oasis of 1994-1996.  It was a 
phenomenal explosion, but as most of us know, in the music business history 
rareley repeats itself.  I mean come on... look at the music scene 
today...the #1 rated TV show in the US is American Idol and those karoeke 
dopes get a record contract.  Enough said.  The way it's going we'll be hard 
pressed if we ever see another Who, Stones, or Zepplin.  Legacies are, 
unfortunately, gone.  That's why I stress upon us Oasis fans to just sit 
back and enjoy the new music.  Let's enjoy the ride...and for those of us 
who smoke...light 'em up!

No cents...just logic.
