Met Paul Weller early 90s. He was driving a Help the Aged van full of Grannies to a Church "do" in Basingstoke and then he got them settled down, pouring out the tea etc. Volunteer work. That's what makes a true star.

[@manchesterutdfan66]

Community service for a little bit of coke he had on him....

[@HeidiNietz-mb3vc]

Exactly what date/time/location, please? I was his booking agent so he was elsewhere at the time!

[@pepsipimpin6010]

Paul Weller will forever be everyone's way cooler older brother.

[@isherrod13]

Loved this song since I was a kid. I'm 64 now.

[@boxingjerapah]

You can see how excited he is to be singing the song with PW. That's how good Weller is. That's how good the song was. That's how great The Jam will always be.

[@dennezedowns1574]

Loved Paul weller growing up when I was a child. Having older brother's listening to The Jam Ect. & I still love him now. Saw him in July @ Warwick Castle. Got to say he was fantastic.

[@hilaryh3053]

Iconic song!

[@Lynneheal]

very talented still today

[@facetheuncertaintyoflife6154]

The late 70s was my last years at school then message in a bottle the police then we found the JAM was so sorry it ended but Paul you help us in our teen years thank you 😊

[@tanyawebber8867]

A tune ❤

I was at this gig, what a fantastic night.

[@user-rq4xd4qm9r]

greatest good song‼️

[@filipporimondi7857]

As in all the Jam songs played by Paul Weller's solo band the rhythm seems to proceed with the handbrake on, it totally lacks that angry and idiosyncratic dynamic typical of the Foxton / Buckler duo

[@Neil2022]

Well this is interesting. And bloody good!

There's a row going on down in slough, Wellers bairns are knocking about the workers

[@yourselfiegotleaked]

God they're horribly underappreciated here in the states

[@peterwhent66]

I love Kelly Jones, but you realise how critical Paul Weller's vocals and energy are to this song when you hear Jones sing. He is lost in the whole thing, whereas Weller bosses it.

[@thinkbig3384]

You had too much herbal tea fella? I grew up with The Jam however, Jones held himself perfectly in delivering a classic.

[@peterwhent66]

@@thinkbig3384 I guess the world would be a boring place if we all saw things the same. I think the song is all wrong for him. Shows how important Bruce Foxton was......but peace.

Pretty Paul Weller didn't have a t v ad for bird trifle Eatontrife think that company who makes them and the money made year or supplies off birds trifel to and hear music playing in the ad

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

I love Weller but must confess to sometimes being confused by the people he chooses to collaborate with. Kelly Jones? Miles Kane?

[@onlyjoetee]

Why shouldn’t he play with them?

[@charlesbull6188]

Craddock just the bollocks

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

Paul Weller is an object lesson for the young: don't smoke, you'll wreck your voice.

[@bighollywoodproducer]

The word you're looking for is "abject", and WTF are you talking about? His voice is still great after only recently quitting smoking.

[@1966Yiddo]

I know this is a few years late but Kelly old chap learn the words in the right order please

[@alanwayte432]

Really...what have you ever achieved that is creative, I am sure you struggle taking orders in the right order at the drive thru...idiot

[@samuelalexander558]

I was embarrassed for Jones and the look Weller give him when he messed the lyrics up

[@bustertheboxer1343]

Great song. Nearly as good as The Jam.

[@neilwilliams8741]

funny how Kelly jones a fellow country man and whose socialists values outshine wokings finest[jones village in the rhondda like mine in north wales was devastated by thatcherite coal policies]but he never forgets were he,s from ..does weller go back to woking..

[@Robcatist]

I don’t think Wellers ever forgot where he came from but granted can’t compare with the devastation caused by the miner strikes and mine closures.

Bit ironic now this song seen as Mr Weller sent his kids to private school

Wow, Jones actually sounds alright when he's singing a decent song for a change.

[@revol148]

Weller sent his own kids to private school

[@revol148]

@rdg rdg read the lyrics to "Eton rifles" and enjoy the irony

[@revol148]

@rdg rdg people passing themselves off as "working class heroes" (copied from that well known middle class fake John Lennon) & write songs against the elite private school system and then up sending their own kids to them kind of gives the impression of style no substance - a bit like his solo work after the Style council split up.For sure people can change - but it adds to my belief that deep down all the working classes want to do is be middle class.

[@taekwanlew]

There is a world of difference from private schools and the establishment which is the subject of this song@@revol148. So you hate Weller, that's ok, no-one should tell you what music to like but ignorance is no defence. When your Dad is a Brickie and your Mum is a cleaner you don't have much chance of being "middle class'. cun t

[@revol148]

@@taekwanlew "ignorance is no defence" - this from the man whose reply had three basic grammar mistakes in ! There is "no world of difference" whatsoever !? He writes a song condemning public schools and the establishment.....and then barely a decade later he sends his own children to them. I'm not sure why you mentioned being a brickie - unless you were referring to Wellers father as he was a builder (of many trades) and part time taxi driver - both well paid then and especially now certainly way more than the dead-end job you ended up in. My reply covers a variety of areas: (a) hypocrisy - particularly among the monied working class (b) the inherent conservatism of the working class (c) the lack of anything aspirational of being working class in spite of so much talk about having all this imaginary pride.

[@NigelT57]

Jones is woefully out of tune and ruins the dynamic of Weller's vocals. Yes Paul, you do miss Bruce............

[@arabianknight839]

No, he was amazing, no we don’t miss Bruce either.
