Not The Jam

I saw an article the other day that The Jam was reforming and going on tour in the UK. Gasp! The Jam is back? That would be something I would pay money to see. I would eat a bug to see The Jam live.

However, it turns out it is just two out of the three members, minus Paul Weller. They are calling the act "From the Jam: Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler". Sounds very Vegas to me.

The Jam without Paul Weller? That's so wrong - he wrote and sang most of their songs, for pete's sake. That's like The Police without Sting (get your tickets now, folks). It's like Hüsker Dü without Bob Mould. It's like The Chipmunks without Alvin.

You get the idea. Why can't they leave well enough alone? Sigh.
