Noel was recently quoted in the press as saying the violence amongst kids
these days is out of control, and I think he said he didn't know what was
up with it but perhaps something about having nothing to do. I remember he
said that's as much as he was prepared to say cos he didn't want to get
done, kinda thing...that was only recently I think.
