Gordon in the morning: Noel breaks America if you squint
Gordon is excited for chum Noel Gallagher who is big in America, don't you know?:
NOEL Gallagher, legal nonsense aside, is on a pretty special run at the moment.Oh, really?
The Yanks are raving about his solo shows and he has already flogged 85,000 tickets for dates next year.
Here are the dates he's playing in the US, with the size of the venues:
Washington Warner Theatre - 1800
Columbus LC Theater - 2827
Detroit Royal Oak - 2300
Chicago Riviera - 2500
Milwaukee Pabst - 1,345
Indianapolis Egyptian Room - 2000
Atlanta Tabernacle - 2600
I make that about 15,000 if all the venues sell out. Now, you could probably find the extra 70,000 tickets if you fold in the European and Australian tour, but Smart is attempting to give the impression that the 85,000 tickets are somehow American. Certainly, that's how his subs appear to have read it:

I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who had one ubiquitous song and one decent-selling album in the US fifteen years ago, and never again crossed beyond an isolationist, insular cult, who might still play bigger venues there than those.
