[kj] A Different Sort of "Gathering" (OT)

[Leigh Newton]

Good lord. I've made this statement before (Jane's
were just glam rock with dreads) to friends and the
reaction was something like "yeah!
hahahaha....anyways..."

You know, as opposed to, say, 5 seperate fuckin
youtube links for each band coupled with a long-winded
explanation as to why the statement is eronious.
Lighten up, dudes! It's a joke!
