The Return of the Wrinkly Rocker

If you have listened to the radio, or looked at a paper or music magazine recently you can't have failed to notice that Noel Gallagher has 'returned'. 

I find him a bit of an enigma..  You see, I think that he is quite engaging - in a grumpy-old-man sort of way.  He's like the sarky mate you meet up with down the pub who you've known since school.

However, if he were playing in my back garden I wouldn't draw the curtains to watch him.  His songwriting - based as ever on a queasy necrophiliac desire for the songwriters of the 60s - was getting old after Oasis' second album.  But now, 15 years later it's just tiresome.

And not only is the music pretty tired he looks awful - he dresses like Jeremy Clarkson and has what appears to be a cheap version of the hair worn by Ronnie Lane in his New Faces days.
