I had all the records of The Jam but didn't like the Style Council and never followed Weller since. He looks looks very down.
Saw him at Brid Spa in the mid 90's, he was excellent. From memory he did mainly his own stuff, with no Jam thrown in!
Yes, yes it was. Did we speak? Did we touch? I'm open to most things Kempers and thinking about it a rather saucey 'coming together ' occurred later that night. Two blokes, one bird. Was that you? Bird or bloke, it's all good.
He's looking a bit ragged for a 57-year old, reckon there's a touch of the Keith Richards' in him. Good old boy mind.
Next he'l say he's been making the same songs for the past 40 years... Because Saturns Pattern sounds just like The Style Council...
Fair point, I'll rephrase it. ****ing despise The Jam and everything I've heard that he's done since.
Fair play, at least now you just come across as a clueless & bitter **** & not an ignorant one too. Why would you have a deep loathing for him? What is it about him that you despise? Did he murder or rape a family member? Surely you can't hate somebody just for the art they produce, can you? His song writing skills? His singing? His views? His clothes? His family? His friends? The respect he gets from his peers? His success? Because the cool kids liked him & you weren't included because of your social anxiety disorder & you've blamed him ever since? Despise is a strong word, maybe he was photographed in a Milan top or referred to the other Milan team as simply "AC"? I can see how that would boil your piss, but would you despise someone for it? Get a life FFS. I think your mistaking hatred for envy.
Envy? Hmm, no I really don't. I don't envy anyone. Lots of people despise my favourite music artist ever. I don't ask them to justify it via long rambling questioning, they can think what they like. But seeing as you ask, it's purely his music which I consider a derivative retrospective sub Steve Marriott affront on the senses.
