You read right. Sir Paul Weller (he's been knighted, right? He's certainly royalty in MiracleLand, with no fewer than SEVEN appearances) is gracing the little town of San Francisco with his larger-than-Earth presence, and one of you Miraclers will be THERE, escorted by fellow Miracler Doug Patterson, Your Hostess, and two free drinks and everything. Thursday evening, September 4th, at the Fillmore West, someone's life will change forever. Whose will it be?
Here's how to make it YOURS. First, be a good Miracling citizen and make sure you've commented on someone else's (not just your) mix. Hello, golden rule! Also, be a first-time winner. Then, be the first to reply here, by pressing "comments" and typing your name into a comment box, starting at:
3 AM Pacific Time tonight
(technically: 3:00 am Friday, August 22, 2008).
The winner will be the qualified Miracler who gets there first. And should you attempt to win but see someone's name there already, enter anyway, because if that person ain't pre-qualified, order will soon be restored faster than you can say "Men's 200 meter silver medal winner."
So set that alarm clock or put on some extra coffee tonight and may the most ambitious Miracler win!

Paul Weller? *Yawn*
I win! I win!
We expect nothing less from you, ANONYMOUS. (is this my husband?)
I only like the Style Council. And I'm kidding.
Paul Weller minus The Jam = No Thanks.
OK, OK, Niland, but you KNEW I was going to say something.
I take it that Mr. Weller picked up the rights to that haircut when Rod Stewart let his patten expire
Damn. It's too early to be witty.

And didn't Weller invent "rap" music?

Style Council - A gospel Lyrics
Album: Cafe Bleu
Complimentary “A gospel” Ringtone
Handed down from fathers to sons
Was the hatred of weakness and the love of guns
A talk of peace but not in our time
To save our souls and stop the crime
Onwards and upwards but going nowhere
So how many now truthfully swear
That they do no evil - see no wrong
The ad-mass agents, the writers of song
The bankers, the poets, the modern day seers
Clouding an issue that was never quite clear
Sent through the ages of boy to man
The living testament of making a stand
Killing the wicked then raising the dead
Eating propaganda and shit spoon fed
Grasping for wisdom, but thick all the same
So how many innocents now can claim
That they play with fire - and get burnt
And through the same mistakes never get learnt
Hoping for a time it will fall to place
Faith shall show as our saving grace
Handed down from God with love
Was the whole wide world and some above
But not content to share the land
Greed was shown the winning hand
And those whose greed was the strongest of all
Took upon themselves to lead the call
That some must work while other rest
Without the question of what is best
The leaders, the losers and the kings
Pass the rifle butt that tyranny brings
Passed on over to the chosen few
Was the promise of freedom with a breadline queue
Ghetto's, gateaux and eating it too
Forcing it all down with a cola brew
The first amendment and the hunt for reds
A conscious contradiction with something said
That they see no evil - with eyes shut tight
A cocaine culture that offers no fight
Dragged from birth - drugged to death
The common excuse is 'just being yourself'
Hand us down before it's too late
The strength and wisdom to change our state
Governed by evil and all it will bring
I can't wait for the day they do the lamppost swing
And no mercy should they be shown
For you cannot reason with the devil's own
They say, they hear no evil - hands clasped tight
To shut out the victims' screams of ol' Uncle Sam fights
He sweats and he strains as his boney frame comes -
into the womb of an innocent one
Gotta give cred to Weller, not only for thee Style Council's Evah Changin' Moods, but also for his Slide Guit Solos on Robert Wyatt's "Free Will & Testament"

(including the amazing lyric "what kind of spider understands arachnophobia")

when I was a young New Wave Teen, I liked Weller's shoes....

Paul Weller needs to take the same advice he gave Pete Townsend, "If you want to go on, you've got to change your set". His psuedo blues thing has been going on far too long.
A couple of songs here and there, but a lot of disappointments from such a talented guy.
Amazing shoes!!!
