Paul
Weller looks back on his days with The Jam and forward to his adventurous new
music in the latest issue of Uncut, out on Friday (May 23).
As he
prepares to release his latest greatest hits collection, More Modern Classics,
Weller rails against politicians and box-sets, plots sci-fi memoirs and some
unlikely collaborations, and finds new ways to celebrate the enduring, evolving
power of music.
“I’m not
scared of the new,” he explains. “For all of my love of the ’60s, be it clothes
or music, I still wouldn’t want to be living in any other time but now.
“If I
had a time machine, maybe I might go back to 1964 to the Flamingo and see
Stevie Wonder, but I wouldn’t want to stay there. I like the modern.”
The new
issue of Uncut, dated July 2014, is out on Friday (May 23).
