"Even Weller's political fury seems to have, if not exactly mellowed, then dimmed from rage to resignation. He's still angry about military misadventures in the Middle East–'I think it's shocking, really. Awful'–but when I observe that the Jam's biggest hits, Eton Rifles, Going Underground and A Town Called Malice, sound more apposite today than at any time since he wrote them more than 30 years ago, he seems surprised.
"'Well, for me personally, I don't know if it's ever been any different really. I dunno really. There's always been bullshit, corruption, suffering–the world's always been in chaos–so is it any different? I dunno. I'm just disillusioned now.'"
