What are your thoughts on the guy? Personally i love him, great versatile songwriter, and social commentator. At a time when people were being little oiks to try and fight the government he did it with a suit, a cappuccino and some soulful pop.
great in the Jam too
great folk artist too. If you don't believe me listen to 'Days of Speed' his live acoustic album.

style council had some good songs. a lot of it was naff but.
everything was going fine until he voted tory
everything was going fine until he voted tory
you're joking, right?
joking about what - weller voting tory?
don't be surprised, so did lennon
after all those years of campaigning against maggie??? It just doesn't make sense
plenty of liberal voters are vocal critics of john howard's policies
true. Just don't seem right for an outspoken socialist to vote tory...
nah, he told the kids to "vote tory" in the early days but maintains he was only having a lark.
wiki doesn't have anything to say about his politics except this:
He once got thrown out of a nightclub for smashing a glass in the face of Sid Vicious
he has now been elevated to demi-god status in my eyes
more love
The Jam are reforming and he isnt joining them apparently
there seems very little point in that....
how is that even possible?
agreed loady. Who the fuck is going to sing?

Paul Weller is absent from a reunion of The Jam.
Bassist and drummer Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler are set to undertake the first UK tour under the name "The Jam" in May.
It will be the first time any configuration of the group has toured for 25 years. The band, who also feature vocalist Russell Hastings and guitarist/keyboardist David Moore, are also planning to follow the tour with the release of new material.
Speaking about the absence of Weller, drummer Rick Buckley said: "Paul Weller has a fantastic solo careers and is one of the UK's most talented songwriters. Paul is always welcome to join us for the reunions, but until then, we've got a new tour and a new album to do."
The tour, which begins on May 2, will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of the band's seminal album 'In The City', which was released on April 29, 1977.

''We considered the matter but under the terms of our enforcement policy, we have issued the warning to Southend Theatres Limited at this stage.

Beaurocracy at its best!
I remember a time when you had to take a shit onstage to make the papers.
Teamed up with Adele to take on Fleetwood Mac!
And it was surprisingly good. I didn't like Adele before tonight
ROCK legend PAUL WELLER has split with his long-term love — after falling for a backing singer less than half his age. The JAM and STYLE COUNCIL star, 50, has been staying with Hannah Andrews, 23, after walking out on partner of 13 years Samantha Stock...
how did you miss this, HEB?
Easily
Ah Melbourne 1989
Paul Weller's US tour has been temporarily halted following the death of his father and former manager John.
New album is quite good.
October. Good one.
any idea who the support is on the current oz tour?
no idea, but he's playing a show at the Metro which would be quite rad
absolutely shit-hot band backing on the current tour.
Anyone else go to his Melbourne gig last night? Confusing end. And set list cut short.
in adelaide we got 2 encores and it was amazing.
except for the crowd who flat-out sucked.
