"'I don't think the 70s and the 80s were great days,' Paul Weller says. 'There were loads of things I hated about them, frankly, and I much prefer my life now. If you gave me a time machine to go back to those decades I wouldn't be bothered. What did I hate about the 70s? Black-and-white television. The way people were overtly racist and Neanderthal. Every gig I went to was violent, with crowds exploding in blood, fists, kicks. I'm pleased to say that we've improved, and I'm really glad we're far more cross-cultural now.'"
Tony Clayton-Lea in The Irish Times talks with Paul Weller on the eve of a new album release.
