That's how life works sometimes

While reading an article about the band Kasabian at work, I read this quote by the lead singer:

Meighan doesn’t see Kasabian going down for the count like so many Brit bands in the ’90s — including obvious influences like the Stone Roses — who could rustle up only a cult following over here and then broke up.
“The problem with Stone Roses is they had four years to make a (follow-up) album, and no one should take that long,” he says. “You take that long to make an album, you destroy yourself. They were fantastic, but they just took so long. We’re not going to have that downfall. Our songs are too good.”

I sent it to Lille with the note: "That's a BOLD statement," followed by "It's almost as bad as Oasis saying they're bigger than the Beatles."

In the weirdest twist of fate, when I looked at the Kasabian Web site later, I discovered that this fall, Kasabian will be touring with ... Oasis.
