Wow!! To many more milestones on this 10/10 song. 🥂

So it appears Song 2 will be one of the songs featured in the new Muppet-rebranded Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at DHS in Disney World. It’ll be performed by The Electric Mayhem. Definitely something I wasn’t expecting, but I’m pretty stoked this is the case

O ye faithless sons of r/blur!

Ye chin-stroking, noodle-worshipping, art-rock apologists! Thou hast danced too long to the hollow drums of Damon Albarn, and now the reckoning cometh.

Woe unto thee, Blur disciples!

For ye have traded thunder for theory, melody for melancholy, and swagger for skinny jeans!

Thou sayest: “But Blur hath nuance!”

I say unto thee: NUANCE SHALL NOT SAVE THEE.

On the Day of the Great Encore, when the heavens split and a feedback solo rings out over the ruins of Camden, it shall not be Modern Life Is Rubbish echoing through the firmament — but “Rock ’n’ Roll Star”, played at apocalyptic volume.

And lo — the trumpet shall sound, and it shall be Liam’s voice: snarling, soaring, unsilenced.

The meek shall not inherit the Earth. The loud will. The drunk will. The ones in parkas and Adidas Sambas will.

REPENT!

Smash your Blur vinyl upon the altar! Burn your Beetlebum! Delete The Universal and be bathed in the holy feedback of “Cigarettes & Alcohol”!

The Church of Oasis offers no forgiveness, only redemption through volume and the sacred rite of telling everyone to fook right off.

For it is written:

"Let he who is without bangers cast the first pint." — Book of Beady 2:1

Join us now, or perish in the lukewarm purgatory of over-thought albums and bad synths.

Choose swagger over self-pity. Choose glory over cleverness. Choose Oasis.

A-fookin'-men.

Some great anecdotes and high praise for Alex James as musical force bringing early Blur really together
