The video Andy posted off Noel Gallagher is getting into the weird category, but it still doesn't seem too threatening, just very surreal. I presume Noel being in Peru doesn't happen too often and is a big event for his fans there and even going out for a walk round the town in such a context is still a semi-public part of the tour, they must learn to expect it at least. It's one of those things we've all grown used to as a normal part of celebrity, yet if you think about it out of that context, it is very, very strange. If this happened to him everywhere he went in England that would be more disturbing. I remember hearing an interview with him where he said he was very perplexed by people who just spot him randomly in the street somewhere, rush up and ask for his autograph, then fumble in their pockets and produce a crumpled up receipt or some such thing to sign. His attitude seemed to be he was completely happy to oblige if it made them happy, but he found it rather weird. He'd ask them what on earth they were going to do with it afterwards.

I think Noel has probably the best attitude, even Liam is like that. And Oasis fans know it and respect that. 

Music is an important part of my life, (i met my wife thanx to Oasis), i met Liam and Noel a couple of times, Jarvis too, but i could never quite understand why people needed those artefacts. I've seen some girls going absolutely crazy and literrally camping in front of their hotel, before the gig, after the gig, at the train station. That's insane. I suppose celebrities are, little by little, replacing kings and gods. So whatever they touch or sign is a proof that you approached god, therefore it gives a meaning to your life. I guess that's how obsessive fans feel like.
