Noel Gallagher Comments On TIDAL

From a recent Rolling Stone interview….
Rolling Stone: You’ve said in the past that you want people to own music instead of stream it. What’s your take on Tidal?
Noel Gallagher: [Long pause] I thought that the people on the stage might want to be a little bit aware that they don’t look like Jay Z’s minions. Madonna was pretty cool the way she cocked her leg up on that desk and signed the [declaration].
I think ultimately with the spiel they came out with, it was like, “Do these people think they’re the fuckin’ Avengers? They’re going to save the fuckin’ [world].”

I was speaking to Chris [Martin] the day after, and I said, “Are you after a Nobel Peace Prize? Is that what you’re after?” They were like, “We’re going to fuckin’ save the music business.” And I’m just sitting there, thinking [imitates smoking weed] you might want to write a decent chorus for a fuckin’ start.

Never mind fuckin’ royalties and the “power of music.” Write a tune. Fuckin’ start with that.
