I think Paul has done a lot in his career and is an excellent musician, however, he is not the original force that one might believe ............The Jam were a great band with impact and style but they followed on from the Kinks and other bands in the sixties................The atitude Paul put across was copied from others and thus he sold something that was not really his this s not a sin and it is not the first time this has happened but, he offended certain sections of the press and many music fans.................Now, as I say I don't think he did this on purpose but, it did happen and as such some people used it as a stick to beat him with and that carried onto his work in the style council and his solo work......................:biggrin:

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
