Noel Gallagher of Oasis
Jaan Uhelszki, Harp, January 2007
OASIS MAJORDOMO Noel Gallagher is turning back the clock. Not just because hes staring at the specter of turning 40, but because he and his unruly brother have put together a greatest hits album, tellingly titled Stop the Clocks. Having made peace with Oasis legacy and his own demons, he talks to Harp about "being bigger than the Beatles," and disposable band members.
