Liam Gallagher's Tweets Are Rock & Roll Literature

Throughout the last few of centuries, many great works of writing have been published and have shaped the world of literature into what it is today. Shakespeare took our breaths away with his plays of tragedy and love, Ernest Hemingway fascinated us with his sensational short stories, and the list goes on and on.

Though I could very much claim that the best works of literature are pieces such as Kate Chopin's "The Awakening," or Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida," I felt it was more important to delve deeper into a work of writing that was slightly more exotic: Liam Gallagher's tweets.

Liam Gallagher is a legendary front-man who first emerged to the music scene in the 90s with his brother Noel Gallagher, in their revolutionary rock band, Oasis. Or simply put, he's the guy who sings "Wonderwall."

Ever since he rose to fame, Gallagher has always had quite a reputation in the media. He has always been rowdy, out of control, and he has never held back. He once made the headlines for getting into a drunken fight with a professional English football player in a club where he blew a fire extinguisher right in the football player's face. In another instance, Gallagher made the headlines for saying that he would rather "shoot himself in the balls" than take advice from Robbie Williams. Though he has strayed away from drunken fights in the past few years, he still finds himself saying some of the most outrageous things. And thankfully he resorts to Twitter to publish these thought-provoking words of his.

When dolphins dress in dog tooth suits:

Twitter

Just as many works of poetry do, this tweet contains a certain vagueness to it yet it evokes an exotic image in your head. A dolphin in a dog tooth suit is open for interpretation, but the best way to interpret this concept is to be in the condition Gallagher was when he wrote this tweet: highly intoxicated.

Next, we have some tweets of self-awareness:

Twitter

Here we have Gallagher acknowledging that he is a cunt. From such acknowledgment, one can infer that he certainly is aware of how outrageous his behavior can be, but refuses to change it because he is, as he puts it, a cunt.

Disclaimer: the author of this article does NOT think Liam Gallagher is a cunt.

The series of tweets about his brother, Noel:

Before you delve into the touching words Liam Gallagher has left for his brother, Noel, it is important to mention that the reason why Oasis split in 2009 was because of a brotherly feud. They have not reconciled since then.

Liam seems to carry a common metaphor throughout many of his tweets: he feels that his brother resembles a potato. Although Liam shows aggression towards Noel, at the end of the day it is simply because he misses his brother.

Liam's twists on classic song lyrics:


Twitter



Twitter

Here we have Liam's modern take on two classics, John Lennon's "Imagine," and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall." From the anger conveyed in these tweets, it seems like Liam has run into some unpleasant people in his lifetime.

Liam's take on other celebrities:

Twitter

By calling him "utter shit," Liam conveys that he is NOT a fan of Kanye West.

Twitter

But it seems like Liam has a softer spot for Justin Bieber.

Twitter

And he has a very strong opinion on his former band.

So Liam Gallagher is not Shakespeare and he's certainly not Hemingway, but he most certainly has a way with his words. There is a certain art that is attached along with the outrageous nature of his tweets. Just as many works of literature can be interpreted in various ways, so can the wise words of Liam Gallagher. He may be a little out there, but that is what makes him one of the most notorious British rock stars.

Disclaimer: Though Liam Gallagher's tweets portray him as angry knob head, he's really not that bad. It's important to recognize his talent and his good qualities. He's not a bad person, he always makes time for his fans, and he's really a big softie underneath his tough skin. He just plays the role of being Liam Gallagher very well.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
