Paul Weller, Back and Forth: Dan Hegarty 10.00pm, RTÉ 2fmDan looks back and forth at the different stages of Paul Weller's varied career. With The Jam there were some great hits in the early Eighties, things like That's Entertainment and A Town Called Malice. Then came the Style Council and You're the Best Thing that Ever Happned To Me, Paul doing his Smokey Robinson impression. The Londoner with the soul groove and the Mod heart (or haircut) and the creative guts to investigate different ways of doing pop. Jam on it. http://www.paulweller.com/
