is a cunt.
I did like The Jam. But the way Weller just cut the other two off and out of his life when he chose to finish the band showed an early indication of what a cunt he could be. Just frozen out like they never even existed.
Then – after the pretentious Style Council – Weller was feted and sucked up to big during the Britpop hype. And, the ‘anti-rock star’ behaved like one. Booze, powder, women and all that. Nothing wrong with that, but the way Weller used to sneer at the Rock ‘N’ Roll lifestyle also shows a hypocritical cunt.
It appears, his monumental ego never came down from this mid 90s adulation. And, even his closest friends weren’t immune from his cunt side.
The link touches on it. But, he does come across as a cunt….

Remember in my younger years I thought this was very tricky and funny when quizzically saying Constantinople is a very long word and if you can’t spell it your a dunce.

This country has really punched above it’s weight in musical terms. I could mention a load of obvious greats but how about metal? Metallica? No, that’s just a load of shit. Iron Maiden is the real deal! Check out the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album and listen to it all the way through. A classic British concept album. A 1988 classic. Paul Weller… who?

Agree about Maiden and Metallica? Metallica are shit.

Weller’s ‘political’ material was nearly as bad and as preachy as Bonio and U2.
Walls Come Tumbling Down, Come To Milton Keynes, Money Go Round, The Lodgers.
Yapping on about Maggie and the working class, when he lives in a swanky pad and has a pop star’s bank account. See also that cunt Billy Bragg

Bragg was a joke. Still is.
Media bellends making out he was a Woody Guthrie or Bob Dylan type. Bragg was more like Arthur Mullard meets Wolfie Smith.

Just tuned in to IAC and thought that was a picture of the BBC’s Sir Jimmy Savile, friend of Sir Kweer Schtarmer.
Now then, now then…

Other than classical music, traditional Indian music, there were also The Fall, New Order and former Joy Division.

Saw Joy Division live a few times, Sammy.
Ian Curtis was unstoppable at his best. A force of nature.
Also saw The Fall over the years at various stages in their career.
I reckon Mark dropped a bollock when he let his American Mrs into the band. Brix, I think she was called. She later attached herself to Fiddle playing cunt Nigel Kennedy.

Also fancied New Order’s Miss Gilbert back then,
She had this naughty school teacher thing about her.

Only saw the Fall, Norman, and wondering what I would like to do with Brix. All ages went to the Fall, but always felt self-conscious of being older, so never attempted New Order. But still had ideas about Miss Prim behind the keyboard.

When Gillian Gilbert dressed in saucy rock chick duds for the ‘Touched By The Hand Of God’ video. A lascivious fantasy of mine come true.

On the subject of Post Punk cunts, this is as pathetic as it is ridiculous…
Clash bass player, Paul Simonon, what a cunt. When Mick Jones was fired by the Strummerfuhrer, The Clash brought in a new guitarist, name of Greg White.
Cue tantrums and whining from Simonon. Insisting he refused to be in a band with someone called Greg. The poor lad then changed his name to Vince White, to placate Simonon and sound more Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Fucking hell, it’s only a name. and is Vince any better than Greg?
What a soft bastard Simonon was. Like it bloody mattered?
Also, if this wanker had said this to Greg Allman, the Clash knobhead would have spat teeth.
