[kj] RE: was Cult now Joke relevance

[robert at jrcardwell.fsnet.co.uk]

I don't think that the world is any stranger than it was 20 years ago (or 
indeed probably than it was 200 years ago). And whereas KJ and their lyrics 
20 years ago did indeed seem to be eyeball-to-eyeball with all sorts of 
nastiness, nowadays they read like poor quality Dan Brown.

What's changed is the absence of the only man capable of contronting Jaz.

Do you think that the lyrics on Hosannas or KJ2003 compare well with the 
first two (or three) albums? "Butcher the womb and expect her to bear" says 
more in 8 words about the state of the world than the lyrics to any song 
since - and says it more eloquently and more brutally.


Spot on mate, absolutely spot on.
