#RIPRickBuckler Never saw #TheJam. Closest they came to playing nearby was Philly. (500mi) If not for college radio I probably wouldn't have known who they were till MTV.
Heard "This Is The Modern World" in 1978, I was sold!
More Mod Than Punk, I Love this band!

I published this last week as a tribute to Bruce Foxton. But tonight it has been announced that The Jam's drummer, Rick Buckler, has died.

Thank you Rick, you were a major part of my musical awakening. Your music will inspire forever.

#RIPRickBuckler ❤️🖤❤️
THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

#NowPlaying one of my favourite compilations, the wonderful “Snap!” on #vinyl by The Jam. So many hits plus a few deeper cuts make this such a vital listen. #RIPRickBuckler #70sMusic #80sMusic #MusicSky #NewWave

Oddly, we were doing a sort of 7 inches (merging them after a mere 10+ years in same house) on Sunday leading to a Jam conversation and play…what a tune this is #RIPRickBuckler

Very sad to learn of the untimely death of Rick Buckler. Every great band has a great drummer. There are no exceptions to this rule. The early days of The Jam were exhilarating. #RIPRickBuckler

Very sad news about Rick Buckler.

Saw The Jam at The Rainbow 1980. I've never seen a band since that matched their energy. Their engagement with the crowd, their vibrancy and enthusiasm. They did four encores if I remember correctly.

And the drummer was an absolute powerhouse!

Something came along that changes our minds

I don’t know what and I don’t know why

But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time

While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind

No, we’re no longer as thick as thieves, no

We’re not as thick as we used to be, no

RIP Rick #RIPRickBuckler #TheJam
