Vincent, Vincent, Vincent:

That was PAUL Weller, formerly of The Jam. Paul Weller was the Punk to Pete
Townshend's Godfather. The Jam were a wonderful wonderful English band in
the late 70's-early 80's who clearly worshipped The Who (and even covered
two of their songs). I have everything The Jam ever recorded (including the
new box set). Then Paul Weller discovered his soul and formed the Style
Council and went straight to hell in a handbasket! His solo career is a
little better than the crap he did with Style Council but oh, there will
never be another Jam . . .
