Paul - no debate. I love Uncle Joe too but those Simonon cheekbones!

Paul. Saw an interview with him recently and he still looks pretty damn cool.

DH and I had this same discussion about the Jam the other day, and conCluded that Paul Weller is probably one of the coolest people of all time.

Wezzle · 09/09/2008 21:59

Mimizan, have to agree wholeheartedly with you there

Long live the Modfather

I didn't see the end of it but I've seen most of it MrsR.

Actually a friend of mine did meet Mick Jones, he said he was a 'right nice bloke'

Poor old topper eh? I am sure he is a lovely man
Ranting- I have a friend who met Mick and says the same
I like Hard-Fi too and I think Mick is their producer now
