OH, I'M GONNA SHOUT TO THE TOP
Today in 1982, after working w/ talent agents Bun Man and Mr. Purple and hearing how much more fame there was to be had, Paul Weller announced the breakup of The Jam--one of the seminal punk bands (Town w/out Malice, David Watts).
Paul would front the Style Council (another underappreciated band) before striking out on his own--his talent has never been fully recognized.
Pardon me, The Jam was the biggest band in the UK when Weller broke it up. Paul has been a big star even since then, especially in his homeland.

Even here, his shows can be expensive for tickets. One year, my son couldn't afford to see him, I think tickets were $100/each.
