Just when you feared that the days of the petulant pop-star tantrum were over, the brothers Gallagher arrived on--and stormed off--the scene. Liam and Noel Gallagher, respectively the lead singer and songwriter of OASIS, the biggest British band since the Beatles and the Stones, were two-thirds of the way through their latest U.S. tour when Noel, the less volatile one, hopped on a Concorde back to London three hours before a concert. Rumors of brotherly fisticuffs, drug use and (gasp!) a permanent split engulfed the British media. A London Times columnist said if the band...
...lakefront, the air stank. The tear gas dispensed by one side and the stink bombs set off by the other lingered in mouth and throat. Across the scene (phalanxes of blue-helmeted cops, battle jeeps with barbed wire like mustaches across their grilles, the guerrilla-idealist young in tantrum, their faces contorted with rage) there swept not only rhythmic waves of sound ("Hey, Hey, L.B.J., how many kids did you kill today?") but an amazing Satanic smell, a Yippie genius' brew that simulated vomit, decomposing flesh, death, cloaca and kindred flavors.

After all, John was paying for the shoot and, having been burned in the past by stories of drug abuse, was acutely aware of the value of image control. This week the finished film, Tantrums and Tiaras, premieres in Britain and turns out to be far from a whitewash. Furnish's work documents a tantrum or two as it follows the rocker backstage, in his private jet and around his Windsor mansion. It also unveils John's psyche through chats with his mother and his therapist...
Hofstra, however, was not down for the count--far from it, in fact. A 10-5 Harvard lead in the third stanza quickly became a 10-8 pincushion as Hofstra sophomore attackman Jarred Testa took matters into his own hands, adding two successive goals to a three-goal Hofstra tantrum...
