Brinsley Schwarz - Surrender to the Rhythm
Nick Lowe definitely inspired Paul Weller here - both in looks and the keyboard riff was also used in the Style Council’s first single, Speak Like a Child

Not having a go at you in particular D.E. but I keep seeing this £7m figure being bandied about. Has this ever been confirmed by anyone? Based on BB's albeit brief appearances so far I cannot believe that such a figure wouldn't include several appearance/goals/promotion clauses and is more likely to be an initial fee of around the £3m mark.
Thanks. My brother was first on the scene and tended to Mick. I couldn’t remember exactly when it was but knew it was somewhere round about the same time as Noel.
I agree with your view of Souness as being a vital appointment in our recent history. He did an amazing job for the vast majority of his time as manager and I do think he gets a bum deal when compared to - say - Sparky.
I must admit I didn't think the suggestion that you do a counter-piece was anything to get worked up about but I can see how you might have thought that.
