Is Paul Weller short of a few bob?

Sainsburys using Start! in their latest advertisement.

i would have thought Weller would have been fairly vocal against doing stuff like that.

Not sure, but I'm just happy “for
knowing that someone in this world
feels as desperate as me” about the situation.

8 kids to 4 different women. Definitely needs to keep earning.

Paul Weller in a Jam as he can't afford to retire due to divorce

Looks like the singer won't be able to make a Brand New Start anytime soon.

Are you sure they're using Start! and not Taxman.

Have seen his gaff in Little Venice, if he's paid his mortgage off then I can't see him being too short.

Great song BTW. Under appreciated

 

[kuepper]

Did he re-record it with new lyrics like Quo

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

He’s a bit strapped his lass needs a new school uniform

He must have another Stanley Road up his sleeve.. should be worth a few bob.

He's spoken multiple times about his financial situation, in that he's well off but has multiple children all at different ages, as well as a host of ex-wives. If he was really skint he could re-form The Jam and make a fortune, but he'll never do that and I get the feeling he's quite comfortable with his life now, especially since giving up drinking.

He also has Black Barn to run as well as his house (Not sure he lives in Little Venice anymore, think he moved back to Surrey)

What next, Eton Rifles for Waitrose?

He doesn't need to reform The Jam, he's doing ok as it is. Tickets weren't cheap for his Globe gig but they flew off the shelves.

My dreams of a Jam reunion, remain just a dream after decades.

Reunions are rubbish imho.

There’s no bigger oasis fan than me and I dread the day they reform in a way.

 

[Low_Key]

wonder if he doesn't own his own music so therefore could not prevent it being used on advertisements he is not in support of.

If he reformed The Jam he's be selling out stadiums and playing Glastonbury etc. He's doing alright, as he acknowledges, but he's not rich enough to stop working.

A tour with The Jam would probably allow him to retire forever.

I'd personally rather he reformed TSC, which would be much more likely anyway, given the lack of bad blood with Mick, Steve and DC.

Eton trifles surely

I think Weller and Bruce are OK now, but Bruce and Rick have fell out.

Yes - he has recorded with Bruce

Nobody's bothered about the drummer, let's be honest. If the two front men were up for it then it's a goer.
