If Paul Weller can get sober anyone can. Spent a night with him in a Scottish castle in early 2000’s- he was wasted at the piano for hours - ‘‘twas way rad for this Jam evangelical- next morning watching him walk the gardens alone seemingly ruing the previous night’s exploits caused me some concern
