    Paul Weller was the first person to inspire me. Living in Northern Ireland during the troubles and unemployed and I heard this sound on Top of the Pops. I then ate, slept and drank The Jam and Weller. I then met him many years later in Heathrow Airport. He just sat down beside me and he had a few drinks. I had this fantastically friendly conversation with him. He asked me to come and see him the next night in Belfast. I look back now and think not only was he my teenage idol but a fantastic guy. His music just gets better also. Still my hero.

    I love this artist for how much he has given to music for more than forty years. I have always considered him an innovator, a precursor, a protester and a disenchanted commentator of the social and political reality in which we live. I've always considered him a real punk. Seeing him in the last two years wearing his elbow mask or covering his amplifier on stage with the Ukrainian flag like any neodem artist sold on the main stream has disappointed and saddened me ..

      That's a surprise and a disappointment re: Ukraine. I would have thought that a man of his intelligence and sensitivity would have understood that the Ukraine situation is about nuance and layers, many of them created by the West as much as by Putin. Disappointed that he has joined in with the mindless virtue signalling that we're seeing everywhere

Both my parents smoked their entire adult life until they died. My dad had wrinkles he wouldn't have had if he had never smoked. I really hope Paul stays healthy and with us for many more years. And Hopefully he's stopped smoking because he's an absolute national treasure to the UK.

    Back in the day there was a record store that loaned records like a library. My roommate came home with Our Favourite Shop. WTF? Who were these people and why had they been hiding from me?

I'm from Newfoundland, Canada and nothing against people who are hardcore fans of the same fad that was played over and over, but I felt really deprived when it came to the local stations only playing the major top bands from Canada, U.S., U.K. I love many bands from the 80's, but again, our stations deprived us from other amazing artists from the 80's. I ended up stumbling upon the best ones by chance. I consider Weller my top Favorite artist for the past few years now, and the majority of my top favorite bands hardly had a song played on the radio. lol

    Weller has put on a few more wrinkles since we last seen him but still lucid and personable as ever.

    As much as I respect Paul (and having met him several times, he is a very warm and kind individual) I can't listen to anything he's made in the past 15 years. He's just too soft and wimpy (musically). With his history and craggy voice, I love to see him make some angry music with a message again.

    I remember Paul as a young guy saying the old dinosaur groups and musicians should move aside for young musicians..

      Is he standing in a way of a new band? He's split 2 of his old bands, and has had the greatest period of solo success in 90's, but now he's still got that write new music /release a record once a year routine as his dayjob to his own and fans' amusement and for the sake of musically challenging himself, and thus happen to have a solid following build throughout decades.
      That's pretty much earned with a lot of hard work and determined career building - not quite by taking the limelight away from any youth band with an old resumé.
      That honour goes to the likes of Stones and the Who (which I still like don't get my wrong but aren't moving much forward anymore.)

    What does it matter what he looks like? All I care about is he's relatively interesting to be interviewed, has a hard working ethic and has released some very intriguing, thoughtful solo singles.

      Normally I'd agree with you unless someone is starting to look like Jimmy Saville. That's notable
