    Ian Brown, Van Morrison and Noel Gallagher have been objecting to lockdown rules, is this the start of a dangerous trend?The timing looks a bit suspicious, right? Just days after I published a column about the dangers of falling for Ian Brown’s Covid conspiracy rants on Twitter, Noel Gallagher – a man never knowingly muffled – joined the anti-mask fray, insisting that going maskless could only affect himself, like a resident of Bethnal Green in 1941 arguing “well, if everybody else has got their lights off I’m not going to be hit by any of their bombs, so if I...

    Former STONE ROSES frontman IAN BROWN told prison authorities that he was Muslim so he could get better food in jail. The rocker, who in 1999 served two months in a Manchester, England, jail for threatening an air stewardess, didn't fully convert to Islam - he just wanted to eat the food on the Muslim menu. Brown says, "My sister bought me the Koran in 1990. I always thought the stories in it were magical. "So I'd already had a love affair with it, but when I got in jail the first day, I saw what everyone else was eating....
