Recent Concerts

So back to the safe.
On Monday the 29th thru the 31st I saw a Paul Weller play Irving Plaza in NY. Much vaunted as three very different nights a certain amount of hysteria ensued after the anouncement of a Jam, Style Council and Paul Weller Night. People paid huge amounts of money and many many folks flew in from the UK and from all around the US. As it turned out Paul is still not able to deal with the lagacy of The Jam. I get the idea that he feels that by not playing an evening of The Jam and the Style council he kept his integrity. I don't agree - he still by inaction condoned the marketing of these evenings, in fact by condioning the selling of such evenings while he knew he would not actually doing it he sold out his sell out.
Paul- if you had integrity you would not have sold these tickets you would have cancelled and resold as three Paul Weller nights. I am sorry you are arrogant and dismissive of your fans. A musical genius its true but an arrogant self-obsesses unlikeale person non the less.
That said to hear 'The butterfly collector', 'Tales from the riverbank' and 'speak like a child' was heartbreakingly wonderful. but 6 hours of Paul lets just say I have had a glut.
