Looks like I was close to the mark NG. It would be great if they were to do a tour that included Glasgow next year.

That was a very quick, and very furtive statement Mr G. You seem to be in the know so let us all in on the why's. Is it because they are now going to go on a UK wide tour including Glasgow ?

Excellent stuff Stevie. I always knew Weller was too talented not to be Scottish. He did go through a period around the time of 'Setting Sons' when he did go for the Paisley pattern look; he was obviously going back to his Scottish roots. But we'll forgive him that slight style faux pas if he turns up at the Barrowlands in December. If we can get the Scottish Weller and Secret Affair we really would have a night to remember.

I am aware that I will be flaunting my ignorance for all to see, but what the hell is a 'Cyber Crowbar.' Is it something you use to break into a computer shop ?

Also, surely Jocks don't need to wear frocks when they already wear skirts. (kilts) What all this has to do with the price of corned beef I don't know but I am always willing to contribute.

Hi Janny if you want to know what "Lola" was all about, ask Jimmy, he brought "her" up to "The One Up" one Sunday, where I chatted her up, said she was a "friend" from East Kilbride! Also ask Jimmy where I got the stretch marks round my lips? Told everyone for years they were "laugh lines" so now you know! lol

Hi Chris, politicts aside, a whole bunch of us are Jam fans at heart, pals fall out "When Your Young" especially when you find yourself in a strange town! Lets hope they all fall in as pals, at some point. Then I can sing my fave Jam song "Eatin' Trifles!" once more.

Although I am like a lot of people and ever so slightly pissed off with Wellers running down of the 'From the Jam' guys there is a lot to admire about the guy as well.

Something in Andy Mulvie's last e-mail reminded me of something that I have to say endorsed my past admiration for Paul Weller. He was recently asked if he would be agreeable to receiving an MBE or OBE, or some such shit. Unlike a lot of people who write radical lyrics but then sell out he told them where to stick their medals. For that alone I have to take my hat off to the man.

Hi Charlie.

Of all the things we can correctly critisize Paul Weller for, being a Tory is definitely not one of them. He once said (about 1978) that 'I think I'll vote Tory in the next election' but that was only a wind up to the middle class guys like Joe Strummer who were cornering the market in radical lyrics. Weller signed up with the Red Wedge thing as a means of trying to get rid of that old bastard Thatcher. The only slight misgivings he ( and some others) had was that he saw the labour party going ove to the right to try and corner some of the voters that had giving her such massive majorities after Falklands. After the 87 election many musicians and songwriters (Weller included) could not allign themselves to a right wing labour party who were begining to espouse the same capitalist, market driven dogma that had came from the tories since the late 70s.

Some of Wellers lyrics from classics such as 'Down in the Tube Station' and 'Eton Rifles' were as good politically as anything ever attempted by Strummer, and were overtly left wing. Lyrically the Style Council were so left that it turned a lot of people of them, and this at a time when the Clash were coming out with the American market driven 'Combat Rock.'

Guilty conscience sums it up! I remember aged 11 telling my dad that I thought the Jam were cool, and him telling me not to be so daft and they were called the Jam cos they were only jamming musicians! I think he found that answer easier to come by than the time when I asked him what "Lola" was about!!!!!!
