And Paul Gallagher said in his book that Noel didn't move out until he was 22 or 23, so they really shared this bedroom for that long! Just let that sink in, at the age of 22/23 Noel was still living in this tiny room with Liam who would have been 16 or 17 when he moved out

when you see the size of their bedroom you start to understand

It's so lovely what John says about Liam:

“I’m not talented enough as a writer to choose what’s going to emerge. I just sit there with a guitar and hope for the best. I got lucky with this stretch of ten songs,” Squire says of the process. “I won the FA Cup when I heard Liam singing on the demo. So I could have got out at that point and had a happy life.”

Ever since I saw this first quote, I kept wondering what Liam meant with his mother's old friend hurting him as well:

I suffered a lot when I was a kid, it made me stronger. My father especially hurt me a lot. My mother's old friend as well. They showed me only the dirtiest face of life: insults, blows. Men and religion have broken me. But I understood very fast that I couldn't believe in god, but only in myself. And it's true that I became a man in spite of myself. I grew up too fast. I'm 24, but I've seen too many things. I'm still that angry kid and unfortunately I'm not about to calm down."

So his mother's old friend, a grown up person, has hurt Liam while he was a child... who is this person and what did they do to Liam? Very disturbing and worrying. We know that his mother Peggy is very Catholic, so what if this "old friend" was someone from the Catholic Church? It's no secret that they have way too many child abusers among their ranks. It would also fit with how Liam said "men and religion have broken me". Just a thought, obviously could have been any kind of non-Catholic person as well, sadly there are too many evil and sick people in this world.

And that interview where Liam mentions that he was a hooker at 15 really gets glossed over. Being a hooker at 15 - that's definitely a case of other people grooming and abusing him. Looks like it was the one time Liam was willing to mention this, which is really understandable as this is something really traumatic and private. But back to people glossing over this, it seems like no one ever speaks about this. I guess it's because it's a really sensitive topic and people don't know how to react to this or how to speak to Liam about this in an appropriate way, so they would rather look away. The interviewer probably didn't know how to deal with this, either, as they didn't ask more about this when Liam brought it up.

It feels like Liam went through a lot more than the public will ever know and despite everything he's generally so bubbly, kind and down to earth.

so there are a few things that make me think liam is a SA survivor:

this quote about his mother's male 'friend' harming him in some unspecified way:

2. this interview, where a dead-eyed and mirthless liam is talking about being a 15-year-old hooker:

3. somewhat unusual/inappropriate behavior often seen in people whose boundaries have been violated that liam also sometimes exhibits, e.g. 1996 mtv awards:

4. this VERY weird and disturbing thomas quote about liam 'kissing him':

5. bigun sending a teenage liam to a 'car wash client's house' with a letter offering liam's sexual services 'as a joke' (source: tony's book)

i can't help but think 'wtf is wrong with all these men surrounding him?!'... i also think it was very easy for noel to take advantage of what liam has said was his greatest fear as a youngster ('his mom and brothers being unhappy').
