To all our Brits- just saw Paul Weller!

[aricher]

I have always been a big Jam and Style Council fax. I had tics to see PW in Chicago but had to give them away to a friend. Had a late night video shoot instead - ugh.

Style Council with Paul Weller:

Style Council with Peter Weller (aka Robocop)

That's a bummer man. I would have postponed the shoot.

Hey- just got Weller's new disc! I have to say, we humans are fortunate to be blessed with this angel of a man. While there are some songs I don't like, for the most part it's full of more Weller classics. I especially love "Blink and You Might Miss It" and "Bring Back the Funk".

Saw him here in Chicago for the fourth time. I love that guy! This time I took my Mom with me. She's 62 years old and was elated afterward! She can't figure out why he's not more popular here. Neither can I actually. His music is very universal. He's your national treasure.

Sweeeet! Not all 'Brits' are in the UK - some left to make room for their fellow countrymen

good on you!
i'd certainly go and see him myself if he ever came to NZ

Ask him nicely, and I bet he will. This was my fourth time seeing him and I always leave exhausted. I don't know how he does it. I mean, the guy's pushing 50 and still puts out great music. I think he's one of those people who NEEDS to be making music. There's just no attitude with him. Before the show, the whole band was hanging out outside the theater and were so nice.

Apologies for reviving a month-dead thread, but I've just spotted on the BBC that Paul's going to be presented with the Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at next year's Brit Awards.

Richly deserved, I feel.

Oh I will have to check out his music...I love British rockers!

However, when I first glanced at the title of this thread I immediately thought it read PAUL WALKER!! I was instantly clicking on thread because he is one of my fav guys!! Oh well, off to iTunes to sample some music!!

I liked his old stuff. I remember seeing him filming for a Later with Jools, Paul Weller special, it was very good

Love The Jam! Listen to "A town called malice" an "Thats entertainment" for a quick intro.

Richly deserved, I feel.

Balls is it... he should be shot for inflicting 'The Style Council' on us
