being born in 1970 was just too young to be properly into them ‘in real time’ but my favourite band after Rolling Stones.
Always hoped they would somehow reconcile.
RIP
Was never going to happen unfortunately, the last time Weller spoke to him was in 1983. He said he tried but he never responded to calls, letters, or even Xmas cards.
He said he couldn’t understand why as there’d been no acrimony when they split.
Remember seeing them on TotP when I was very young and thinking something along the lines of 'What's that racket?". Fortunately, as I got older, that racket became something I very much appreciated and I still listen to The Jam to this day. RIP Rick.
Loved the singles at the time back in the day but only recently listened to all the albums and realised what a great album band they were. Sound Affects is actually a tribute to the 1960s, something I never realised at the time. RIP Rick.

RIP, Rick
Was a fan from then on and saw them numerous times across London.
Met Rick a couple of times when I was writing for South London fanzine Safe as Milk.
A soundtrack to my life so this is very sad news.
