Former Oasis Singer Blames Games for London Violence

A rock artist blames another forms of art for violence with no evidence, who incidently has his own history of violence within his job as an artist. Gotta say, the irony is delicious. I mean, how much crap has his form of art taken? Let's not forget all the times music has actually been involved with large social movements or has been blamed for violence.  1960's anyone? 

So there weren't any riots before 1980?

Agreed. You don't start a conversation with "I don't care what other people think" in a public forum and expect to be taken seriously. This is the very definition of ignorance.

Because the Gallagher brothers are the utmost pinnacle of good, non-violent behaviour, right?

And I'm pretty sure your genre of music and over all art form was blamed for all the ills of the world at some point mister.

"It's always interesting to see how some artists have a dim view of other forms of art."

That assumes he's not part of the "games are not nor ever will be art" crowd.

"We live in this age of violence—and I don't care what other people say: Brutal TV and brutal videogames are a reason for this pointless violence as well."

I'm assuming that he takes "people" to mean those who have studied and understand the human psyche a great deal more than he does.
