Quick Oasis story: I have an interview with them at CBS Records in 1994. The elevator opens onto the publicity dept floor and there are people running around all freaked out. "The cops are coming! The VP called the cops!" WTF?
I ask the publicist who setup the interview wtf is going on. "Oasis is in there smoking pot and they won't come out!" I look at the conference room door and there's smoke coming out.
So I go over and knock. "Don't go in there!" the publicist yells at me. Liam opens the door and waves me in. "Cops on the way," is all I say. He slams the door shut and locks it. "Fuck it," he says. "Have a smoke and relax." The ONLY thing I remember after being in there 45 minutes was a bong being passed around. I vaguely recall opening the door with 2 Oasis T-Shirts in one hand and four cops staring at me. "We've been knocking for over half an hour! We were about to bust the door down!"
I just grinned and somehow stumbled to the elevator. No one got arrested, I know that. Ahh great times!
