[edit] politics
he was always a pretty vocal bloke - red wedge, miners benefits etc - must be worth mentioning I'd have thought Belboid 23:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] personal life
"In October 2000, Weller was accused of rape." - Do we really need this included? He was cleared of all charges and there appears to be no reason to justify its inclusion on here. Any strong objections?
[edit] Web directory.
Anyone else think this is look like a web directory?
[edit] Bassline
Isn't the "Malice" bassline taken from Booker T and the MGs "Uptight"???
[edit] mortgage
Did he actually say "mortgage"? For What? The Taj Mahal?
The "mortgage and a kid" line comes from a track Weller wrote at age 18. It doesn't belong in the "Wild Wood" section so I have removed it.
[edit] Tears for Fears quote
"Kick out the style, bring back the jam" in their song Sowing the Seeds of Love was a quote from Thatcher when she was leader of the then minority Conservative Party. It was meant to brand the Labour government ineffectual in their economic policy - more concerned with style than substance, and caring more for loyalty to ideals than the people's general welfare. The quote in the Tears for Fears song comes at the end of a series of sentences critical of Thatcher and it's doutbful that it refers to The Jam. --HaakonV 18:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
The Tears For Fears fansite claims that Roland Orzabal "admitted it was about The Jam/Style Council". I can find no direct quote to back this up however.
