great post Mr.Soul!!!
i think you're almost spot on with your assessment, thankfully though, i think '22dreams' and 'wake up the nation' are welcome returns to form, i think the new band he has employed over the last three or four years have helped get him back on track again. he's also sober again nowadays and on a health kick,well thats what he said when i spoke to him when i met him a couple of months ago,and that always helps with the creative juices.
im actually listening to 'wake up the nation' as i type this...its one of those that grows on you the more you listen to it...mind you, PW could record his flatulance and i'd buy it and say it was good, so im not sure if im the right person to comment on Mr.Weller.
if you havent seen his 'live at Braehead' dvd from around 2002ish, i suggest you go and watch it, its great rock music with a handful of Jam classics thrown in the mix.
ive just ordered the new 'find the torch,burn the plans' live dvd recorded earlier this year, cant wait to get it as the 'wake up the nation' tracks sound better live than the studio versions...IMHO.
you had tickets to see him didnt you?...when's that show coming up?
