[kj] Ministry Bassist

[Alexander Smith]

Wasn't Paul "Hermes Pan" Barker the bass player for Ministry (and  
haven't he and Big Al had a big falling out?)

I own a few Ministry discs and liked them quite a bit back in the  
early 90's, but having a member of Killing Joke playing in Ministry  
is a bit Rick from the Jam now playing in a Jam cover band.

That said, Ministry -- despite being self-styled cartoonish smack  
junkies -- have their shit together and still boast major label  
financial muscle and can probably organize a proper tour, so one  
can't really fault Raven for touring with them. The man's got mouths  
to feed.
