here's something about a reunion tour that doesn’t include the lead singer that just screams "cash grab". Whatever the case, Bruce Foxton and Rick Butler have reformed the quintessential mod band, The Jam in a modern incarnation entitled From the Jam (my guess is legal issues) while lead singer Paul Waller continues his much more successful solo career. This would be a surefire fight between the Mods and Rockers if it weren't 2008 and those subcultures weren't already bastardized by Urban Outfitters. Still, hearing songs like "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and "A Town Called Malice" live from some of the original members will be a good nostalgia-inducing experience. After all, nostalgia has become a successful cottage industry in the last decade or so. From the Jam play tonight at Club Soda.
