Weller Quashes “Jam Re-form” Rumours
10:00 AM GMT 28/04/2008
THERE’S ONE QUESTION you have to ask if you’re interviewing Paul Weller – even if it means getting a slap round the chops. When are you going to re-form the Jam, Paul?
“That would never f***ing happen in a million years, mate. I’d have to be f***ing lying in that gutter covered in piss and starving with my children totally potless for me even to think about it… Every c**t is reforming, every f***er on the planet. It’s only the Roman Empire that’s left to reform now…”
In a wide-ranging, expletive-packed interview in the current MOJO magazine, Weller puts this and other myths to rest. Did he really dance topless around a bonfire at Noel Gallagher’s house in the mid-’90s, shouting “Weller! Weller!”? (“I’m pretty sure I wasn’t there…”) And has he really found God? (“I don’t like the suggestion that I’ve had some kind of revelation”)
Toughing revelations about his ex-boxer/cabbie Dad, who watched him spar once but banned him from the gym when he took a winding body blow (“he never wanted to see me hurt”) vie with his candid exploration of the writer’s block that made him consider packing music in after 2005’s As Is Now LP.
Find out more – the full lowdown, in fact, on what makes Paul Weller tick – in the latest MOJO, out Wednesday, April 30.
