RIP Bobby "Blue" Bland...


We here at PWNews were sad to hear of the passing of Bobby "Blue" Bland over the weekend. As you may know, Paul covered Bobby's classic song, "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City" from Bobby's fantastic 1974 LP, Dreamer. Paul's version is a b-side on his Brushed EP released during the Heavy Soul era. Bobby passed away in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 83 on Sunday. Here's some sights and sounds to pay tribute to this legendary voice of Blues and SOUL!

Paul Weller On John Lydon!

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
