well Champagne Supernova is one the most greatest songs ever including a great drinking song!cheers oasis! A coast-to-coast motorcycle record was set by Axe Dekruifin a time of 33 hours and 10 minutes. It was done on a BMW S1000RR with an extra fuel tank while drinking a Red Bull/Gatorade mixture in a CamelBak, and using a Flir thermal imaging camera for night driving. Axe averaged 72.6 mph on his cross-country run and produced a documentary ( No Limits – No Regrets) on his adventure. The song was played at the majority of Oasis concerts. Noel Gallagher has stated, "I think it's the only song, since it was written, that we've played every night". During the Morning Glory Tour in 1995/96 and the Be Here Now Tour in 1997/98, the song's ending was usually stretched out by five or so minutes, with Noel playing a long improvised guitar solo. An example of one of these performances can be seen on the DVD ...There and Then.

Megan from Winnipeg, CanadaI love Oasis. My favorite song by them would have to be "Some Might Say". Perttu from JyväskyläIn slang "Cannonball" is mix of inhaling some weed smoke and holding it while drinking whiskey or other strong alcohol. I think it might be one of Gallagher's hidden meanings. Very nice and peaceful ballad anyway, I love it. Quite surrealistic sounds at the beginning and hazy solo. Melodies are wonderful, lyrics are a bit difficult to understand.

The nonstop record is currently at 27 hours and 13 minutesby Steve Brown in a 2014 GMC Sierra. Coast-to-Coast Motorcycle Record In 1981, though they did not beat the record, David Morse and Steve Clausman drove a Porsche 928 on a route that was mostly on I-80 to take home the win. This race began in Long Island, N.Y., and finished in Emeryville, Calif. The car was equipped with a massive fuel tank. Clausman was a professional driver and Morris was a businessman.

Ashley from Moncton, CanadaI really hate how whenever this is on the radio they always cut it short The fact that we get away with something deviant and law-breaking hinges upon the principle that people think it is okay because these people are adding their names to the history of Cannonball. I don’t think the public appetite is ready to conceive that indulgence.”

Yates decided to both host and participate in such an event as a “whimsical gesture of defiance of the regimen of contemporary traffic laws.” At the end of Yates’ own 1972 feature, he wrote, “No one who ran, not Gurney, not Adamowicz, not anybody, got a dime for the race, making it some kind of milestone in modern automotive annals.” 1972 & 1975 Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash The only other unofficial Cannonball Run record list is a spreadsheet published by Ed Bolian of VINWiki fame.

He drove 100-105 mph most of the run, to balance speed with fuel economy, as well as to beat his target time of a sub-34-hour Cannonball Run.

At the end of the article, Tingwall asked a difficult question: “If right now is not a good time to jeopardize innocent lives by indulging in a selfish and hollow pursuit of notoriety, what makes that acceptable in better times?” Olivia from Perth, AustraliaI read a recent interview with Noel + Liam in an Uncut magazine, and Liam says that Champagne Supernova is about drugs. Noel also says that he never worries/thinks about the lyrics, they're not as important as the music to him, except for songs like "Live Forever"And the line everyone seems to be talking about, the oxymoron (thanks Diablo!) 'saw you walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball'. I think the way it's so self-condridictory is to give it more effect, although it might be like people say, that while the person he is watching is moving slowly, they are still fast in comparison to everyone else. I also love the opening (I know I'm writing about the start at the end of my post but hey, that's the way I work!) how he descibes what's happening, how he's 'living strange' and the special people in his life are changing. I think it sets the mood for the song, slightly bitter but very much in love.
