[kj] [KJ] Killing Joke "Rawk"

[Brian Whitehead]

>>LET THE SKELETONS OUT OF THOSE CLOSETS!!


This is probably a great opportunity to reveal

I love Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Waters.
Mamas and Papas
Early Duran Duran
Early James
Abba
and the U2 single Vertigo.

Do I get away with some of these?

God that feels better.

Oh and while we are at it I've seen Bucks Fizz, Altered Images and David
Essex live.

Brian.
