PAUL WELLER has urged fellow Brit JOHN LYDON to stop clinging to the past - because the punk icon has become the "antithesis" of JOHNNY ROTTEN. The Jam founder admits he shudders every time he sees Lydon on reality TV shows or hears of another planned Sex Pistols reunion. And he has two simple words of advice for the punk star: "Leave it." Weller says, "I don't really understand him anymore. He's become the antithesis of what he once was. Does he need the money? "Perhaps he misses the adulation, the buzz. Nostalgia has become a whole industry in itself... and I don't like it. You can never recapture what has gone." Paul Weller And John Lydon At The Mojo Awards
I like the video...but geez all of PW's videos are so similar:
ReplyDelete1. Band playing.
2. Fast moving montage of London.
REPEAT
I'm not cool anymore so not sure how important videos are to "kids nowadays" but that one is pretty boring.

DIG the fact that WELLER was playing his old "Going Underground" Rickenbacker, I believe he gave the guitar to Steve Cradock a number of years ago. NICE to see the guitar make a return on such a fantastic track!! WAKE UP THE NATION DON'T BE NO DRAG!!!
