I thought he would've been older. Anyway, I might chuck on Setting Sons now.

I worship The Jam, yet never was as excited with Paul's solo stuff. I recently saw Bruce/Rick in From the Jam and I must say they look much better and continue to play with amazing intensity. But still, nice to see Paul out of the house. I'll go with playing 'Snap!' on the turntable.

I had no idea that "Mod" was back in style. But food is always in style and making someone else happy with a surprise visit is always in style

He really doesn't have a true Mod style though. "Rod the Mod" always had it down..
