[kj] a little prediction for you

The reasons I think this will happen:

We are entering last chance saloon.

The recent utter balls up, the departure of Raven, the requirement for a 
'KJ' bass player, the need for some integrity, the bleak commercial outlook, 
the fact that Youth and Big Paul have teamed up, Big Paul's humility (as 
evinced in that interview), a chastened Jaz(?) and the last hope of an angle 
that will attract sufficient attention.

I'm not saying I wouldn't prefer Raven. I'm absolutely gutted he's gone. 
More than any of the charades that have gone before, this one has really 
caused a loss of my goodwill. I know many die hards feel the same.

And I never thought I'd say this, but the band may now be in possession of a 
drummer who tops Big Paul - it would be very sad to say goodbye to Benny but 
Big Paul really could bring something apart from his drumming.

It would be a pragmatic move. To really work it would need to be a 'split 
four ways' thing, as it was originally.

Maybe they could even put Jaz back behind his keyboard.

All of this should happen round about when Jaz learns the humilty Big Paul 
appears to have learned.

I'm not expecting this any time soon however.
