My dad and uncle are coming home from Thun, Switzerland. They board the plane and take their seat. The pilot comes over the loud speaker and says they are waiting for two men who are rushing to get on the plane. 45 minutes later the two scroungy goons show up. They stroll onto the plane and everyone by this time is pissed off. They sit down in the row in front of my uncle and dad. My dad said they wreaked of Vodka and he could literally barely breath. One of the goons turns around and looks at my dad. He proceeds to say, "Those Swiss hookers sure put on a show." My dad looks at my uncle and and smiles. What the hell do you say to that? The other one looks at my uncle and says, "Got any smokes?" My uncle replies, "You can't smoke on a plane." He looks at my dad and says, "Got any smokes? The short ones." My dad starts laughing. When he finally composed himself he said, "just finished my last one." With a dead serious face he says, "Shit man, shit." They settle back down. My dad says he was thinking this is gonna be a great plane ride. A couple hours later they turn around and say at the same time, "Were in a Rock and Roll band." My dad is a huge rock and roll fan. He says, "Hell yeah, what's the name?" They both respond, "Oasis." By this time the majority of the plane is asleep. My dad says, "Hmmm never heard of you guys before." One of them says, "Da **** man, wer'e ****ing HUGE in Europe man!" One of the passengers, woken from his sleep, says, "what the hell is the problem?" He responds, "he hasn't heard of Oasis!" The passenger yells back, "Who's that?" The other goon yells, "What the **** is wrong with this plane?" They settle back down angry and disgruntled. When the plane lands in Los Angeles they both get their bags and say to my dad, "We've been working on a new album and this is it." He hands my dad a cassette. It was a rough mix of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. My dad thanks him and says he will listen to it on the way home. They both reach into their pockets and give my uncle and dad 4 tickets for a show of theirs in Vegas. My uncle and dad were very grateful for the gifts. Turns out they were Liam and Noel Gallagher. My dad popped it in on the way home and he said it blew him and my uncle away when he first heard it. It was unlike anything at the time. He went to the concert and he said they were, believe it or not, even wilder on stage. To this day Oasis is one of his favorite bands and he still has the cassette and tickets. I thought it was a great story.

I love songs that never get old no matter how many times you hear them.
