Don't let yourself be amazed by the imagination of a writer and his words, writers are almost all the time in a love-hate relationship with words.
Oasis can't be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big.
Real spiritual authority has to do with the truth of the actual words being spoken, and the spirit of the person behind the words. Really, authority is about truth: honest-living truth.
I think this had to do with the vintage of his family's money: the older the gold, the less shiny it tends to be.
