The anti-war benefit concert known as the Big One had a talent roster to live up to its name. The Style Council appeared between the brassy R&B of Ian Dury and Mari Wilson, and the rousing anthems of U2 — and following two acts of skits and monologues, both of which ended with two-song solo sets by Elvis Costello. | The anti-war benefit concert known as the Big One had a talent roster to live up to its name.

Where Costello exuded purpose and confidence, however, Councilperson Paul Weller stumbled from one song to the next, apparently wondering what he was doing there in the first place. He seemed more concerned with looking cool while getting rid of his chewing gum than establishing a rapport with the audience. | Where Costello exuded purpose and confidence, however, Councilperson [[Paul Weller]] stumbled from one song to the next, apparently wondering what he was doing there in the first place.

The "band" — Weller, keyboard cohort Mick Talbot and an overbearing backing tape — played mostly boppy pop like the acoustic-based "Headstart for Happiness." The closest Style Council got to an anthem was the funky "Money-Go-Round," attacking all of capitalism. If not exactly appropriate to the occasion, at least it was a protest. | The "band" — Weller, keyboard cohort Mick Talbot and an overbearing backing tape — played mostly boppy pop like the acoustic-based "Headstart for Happiness."
