Whatever Happened to Oasis?
I heard Wonderwall on the radio the other day and I started thinking about what the hell ever happened to Oasis. I liked them. They were some self absorbed, whiney, nut jobs, but I liked their music none the less.
As a mom when I think back about Oasis, I don’t think so much about the music anymore, I think about them as brothers. They apparently were close enough to form a band and share their careers, but once they blew up they were on MTV talking smack about each other on a daily basis. At least I think they were talking smack (you could cut their accents with a knife).
I am constantly trying to figure out what makes people who are raised as siblings have a successful relationship with each other in their adult life. I was an only child, and my Dad still refers to his only brother as “the little man” so obviously I need guidance. Hipster D and his sisters all get along well, but they are 12 and 13 years apart, so they still see him as “the baby”. They even still occasionally buy him clothes. I just want to know what to do, or what not to do so as not to “F” things up between them. Obviously common sense plays a big roll in fostering a good brotherly relationship, but there has to be more to it than that.
If anyone wants to give me some input, I would welcome it.
You know…I’m not sure there’s any rhyme or reason to sibling relationships. Some are good and some definitely aren’t. The only thing I know of for sure that can stress a sibs relationship is parental favoritism or the perception by your kids that it exists, regardless of whether it actually does. I try to always be aware of it, particularly with my firstborn.

Hi it’s funny I just download Oasis like 2 days ago! You know what I think happens with siblings when they get older, I think one gets jealous of the other, success etc… Go figure that’s the only thing I can come up with. I think it shouldn’t be like that but some peeps never learn. LOL!

Yeah, and what ever happened to Hanson, for that matter?
Siblings, what a strange, unpredictable thing. My sister and I never got along until after she left for college, and now we’re the best of friends - 15 years later. My mother never got along with her brother until they were both in their 40s, and now they’re very, very close, so I guess you just never know.

I think Hanson is currently running a meth lab in the mountains of Tennessee (just a guess). I totally missed out on them. I was too old to like their music, and too young to have kids that did. I guess I was just lucky that way.
