The Jam were my bit of teenage bliss. The only band where at the time, in that moment, it felt like we were in the same gang.
I took it all very seriously back then. Which I guess is fine, when you're young.
(in about '85 / '86 John Weller asked me what I thought about the idea of a Jam reunion. I said it was a bad idea, it was over and it would just look like business, to which he said 'is the right answer!' I'm not claiming any consultancy or guru status there, I think he was vox popping, asking anyone and everyone that would listen.)
