Weller plays the hell out of that Rick in the last minute, is that a Pete Townsend tribute? Pow!
it's classic where the "Cheers there mate" is replaced by "there's a price to pay" in the last chorus.
the punk meets the godfather? for you Quadrophenia fans...

What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns and you run off home for your tea
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy
My favorite Jam clips are from the early days
They were slammin' back in the day. I'm not sure why he ever did the soft rock crap, or why he thinks he's some kind of soul singer now...but wow, the early stuff was great.

Re: the jam: Eton Rifles (youtube)
yeah, more questions than answers when it comes to the Style Council stuff. at the time, i was OK with it with My Ever Changing Moods and maybe Internationalists....but i didn't think he was going to keep doing it for 15 years. i have a friend who saw Weller and played a bunch of the old stuff about a year ago and said it was great. so, hey?

Yeah, it sounds like lately he's writing some harder stuff.

The Jam were my idols when I was a teenager. Hugely popular in the UK, and if they had stayed together they would have been bigger than U2 (problem is they probably would have sounded like U2 an'all)
Paul Weller's doing the old stuff again because Bruce and Rick got a new lead singer in and made a packet touring the UK, filling venues with fortysomething blokes crying like bitches for their youth. Marvelous.
