No Rock And Roll Fun

LEAN PERIOD: So, the next Paul Weller album will be Weller does the covers - although apparently Summer Nights isn't on his agenda, so we won't get to hear him do 'weller, weller, weller, ugh, tell me more'. It seems his decision to stick out a sweaty middle aged bloke does karaoke album is because he saw Rod and Elt rake it in from a similar sleepwalking exercise ("it allows his a crack at the classics") and, ten years after the rest of the world he's noticed that his once mighty songwriting talent has withered and barely produces anything worth writing down, much less recording, these days ("he fancied taking a break from songwriting").
