[kj] Jaz owns the name

[god botherer]

Thanks for posting the cutting. I well remember all this, but what I really 
want to know is precisely how Jaz came to own the name.

Killing Joke was always srongest when all members were on a an equal 
footing. If only it was still that way. It isn't, which makes the 'family' 
and 'tribe' stuff a bit bollocks.

So does anyone know the mechanics of how he came to own the name?
