It’s with deep regret and sadness that I post this
Oasis broke up the other day. :( I signed on to my computer this morning, happily drinking my orange juice and ready to plow my farm on facebook, when the Yahoo! news section popped up. The story was one of the top 4, and of course it was partially responsible for wrecking my day. I say partially due to the fact that my day wasn’t fantastic for another reason, but I’ll reach that soon.
Noel announced that the reason Oasis split was due to the fact that he could no longer interact with his brother, Liam. Ouch! I mean, I think everybody knew the band had problems. They were caught fighting in various interviews, and would heckle each other constantly. My opinion on the matter is that it’s too bad that you can’t get along with your sibling to the point where a perfectly good and successful band is suffering.
But then I started thinking about my previous opinion. Is that making me a hypocrite? I think it’s not secret that my sister and I barely get along. We live under the same roof, act politely to each other (for the most part), and eat our meals together. But aside from that, about seventy percent of our time is spent verbally abusing each other. Even my mother said it’s too bad that we have to have such nasty behavior towards each other. It made me think of Liam and Noel from Oasis. I can’t remember who it was at the moment, but one brother stood by at a concert while the other was beat up by a fan. Another time, Noel feigned a sore throat and claimed to be leaving a set Oasis was supposed to play, but only to be seen in the audience, heckling his brother as he sang. And I started worrying, seriously worrying. This is as far fetched as the stars up in the sky, but if Megan and I were to ever start a band, would that be us? I want to say no, but sometimes I wonder if we would be forced to ride in separate tour buses as Liam and Noel did.
I <s> am going to try </s> will act as a better sister to her. She’s entering high school in a week, and especially now, she needs a real, mature older sister. I feel awful for not being awaken to how distant we were sooner.
