Can’t see it happenin’ somehow, but if it was in the Sun it must be true.

I read that Bruce Foxton and Paul Weller have been working together in the studio for a Weller solo album! Think it was The Sun.

Do you think Foxton might ask Weller to join From The Jam for a date or two? [screams]

Another huge difference between the two was the fact that the majority of the Stones Roses audience were completely blissed out on E’s and totally oblivious to the shortcomings of the ‘live performance’. As much as I love their first album and admire Ian Brown as one of the great frontman, he couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket at times. I’ve looked at a lot of live footage too as well, believe me. The recorded album though is another matter entirely. Pure genius.

Before I incur the wrath of any lurking mad Roses fans – a limited edition John Squire print of the first album cover, sans lemons and typography hangs above my desk, next to an original signed Kate Simon photographic print of The Clash first album front cover image. I have ALL the early singles and the Stones Roses discs occupy a sizeable chunk of space twixt Stiff Little Fingers and The Stooges. A shame their initial creativity was effectively killed off by their music business contractual wrangles.

Maybe they should have gone in for custom painting and decorating services…!
