[kj] OT: Filmmaker Ingmar Bergman dead

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

And for that matter do you realize how many people don't think Killing 
Joke exist any more (er, do they?)? But, what I mean is, when I made a 
"Top 20 LPs of 2006" list on a blog, and listed Killing Joke's Hosannas 
on it, I got NUMEROUS responses that were like, "Holy shit, Killing Joke 
are still around? Didn't they like break up in 1985?" They didn't have 
an idea about Democracy, KJ 2003, etc.
