"They have won him acclaim from critics and peers, such as Sir George Martin, who stated 'I consider Noel Gallagher to be the finest songwriter of his generation'. Perhaps the irony here is that Noel suffers from dyslexia, making songwriting a difficult task." The source is an encyclopedia. See? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_GallagherIs Noel really dyslexic? |

Didnt he say something once about when he was writing Magic Pie he was looking up words to rhythm with 'extra ordinary guy' and he read the word Magpie as Magic Pie?
Or was that coz he was snorting smack?

Dunno where it's from but I remember a quote from him that went something like "anything over six letters and that's me gone."

izzard put it best when he said that when normal people see clouds, they think, "well, they're clouds." when dyslexic people see clouds, they think, "well that one looks like this, or that."

I think it's fucking ace that Noel didn't put an "s" in "shoulder"
from SOTSOG. Puts his mark on the album title.

the guy who runs the wwf? What used to be the WWF, yeah. They changed it to WWE because the World Wildlife Fund won a suit against them for use of the letters WWF. Well, of course the official story is that he wrote it down on a napkin at a bar when he was drunk, but the dyslexia could've had something to do with it. |

Come on peeps its 2005 dyslexia is'nt a problem nowadays, Loads of ways to combat it! I went to school with some lad who had a bad form of it but with some help he ended up with the best exam results in the year and is now working at some high position at toyota. Maybe you gain that extra bit of intelligence in exchange for it, much the same as they say blind people have heightened senses compared to others  Anyway noel is a fucking genius even if he don't know how to spell the fucker ;D cheers doggboy |

I can't believe no-one's mentioned it yet, but John Lennon was dyslexic too!!!
When I found out they were both dyslexic, I wished I had it too, but seconds later I said "nah, I'm better off this way" hehe.
