Bingo.

As someone else posted earlier toiday from a message snipped from one of the 
boards, there's obviously some ongoing issues with Jaz and Geordie being 
ehh, difficult to work day to day with. The Ministry tour was booked a 
*long* time ago in advance so there were plenty of opportunities for tour 
schedules to be worked out well in advance so Raven could have recorded and 
toured with *both* KJ and Ministry through 2006.

Considering the rather chaotic and uneven tour The Joke have mounted so far 
in Europe, I sadly think Paul made the right choice in moving on with 
Ministry. At this point, I would be shocked if KJ do any further dates past 
the ones already booked (which would eliminate a north America tour) and I'd 
bet good money we'll see some cancellations as the current tour progresses.

And finally, it blows my mind they have yet to even bother identifying the 
current bass player either at the gigs or on their website.
