Last night we went to see Paul Weller! He did not play this track. Nor was he on the top of a big red bus. BUT I believe he certainly DOES hang about quite a bit with mini-skirted ladies. I have seen the pictures.
I love Paul Weller. He played for ages and was really energetic and had a great band. He smoked on stage and had 193 guitars. He made a jibe about Gary Numan. And basically he was totally the platinum mulletted Modfather in skinny pants. He played a lot of his newer stuff.. but also some tracks from his awesomely iconic period with The Jam and The Style Council too. It was ace.
If he tours near you, you should totally go. The audience was really diverse, with lots of young people, but heaps of older people who seemed constantly in need of a wee. I know this because they were forever shuffling up and down the aisle to the loo. There were some fights and some people got thrown out, which I thought was quite dramatic. I mean it’s not a Megadeath gig. It’s Paul Weller. He’s got grey hair and probably wears a smoking jacket post gig. Some people should settle down…. Sheesh.
Do you love him? Have you seen him? Do tell!
