Alan McGee: nobody does anything they don’t want to do anymore

It’s just half past midnight and news is slowly slipping through about the Oasis split

It’s like the stones or something, it is probably because they have been through so much, they just thought they were never going to call it a day. But I think that the times we are living in, there seems to be a change in consciousness whether they feel it or not, whether it seems to be happening.
To the individual is immaterial, nobody does anything they don’t want to do anymore. And if they are doing it, they must feel pretty bad because the majority of people would rather do something out of love than for the money. That seems to be from everybody from a electrician to a rock 'n' roll star. There is a change of consciousness in the world, and things are falling away.
We are in a different era then in the nineties and eighties, with things that would have Oasis together, and this era that we are approaching that is a reawakening of the consciousness. At the end of the day, if no one is enjoying it, then you break the band up, and I don’t see that Oasis are any different from anybody else, if they are not getting on then they are going to pull the plug.
It’s of the moment, you’ve got Oasis splitting up and Michael Jackson dying, you can see they are not connected, but they are part of these changing of the times.
I am sad of course, but I am very understanding of it, because changes happen whether it is jobs or relationships, things happen. Things that are meant to come to an end, do.
I think the song which sums up Oasis' career as a whole is "D'you know what I mean".

Alan McGee
