[kj] KJ logo

[Alexander Smith]

In all candor, I'm simply too much of a pussy to wear that shirt (the  
pope/nazi one) anymore. Similarly, I have about seven or eight COP  
SHOOT COP shirts left over from the early 90's that *really* don't go  
down well in a post-9/11 NYC.

The one shirt I used to own that stirred up the most crap was an MDC  
"Blue By Day/White By Night" shirt (back cover of the first album).  
Ahhh... the heady, petulant days of youth.

Everybody now...."Dead Cops.....Dead Cops.....Dead Cops...."
