[kj] OT : Feeding Of The 2,500 tonight

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

No accusations of "sell-out" from me, but I shuddered at the text I got off 
a friend... "Steve Whale jumping off the drum riser during Shaved Women... 
THAT'S what anarcho is all about"... yup, I think the Business' guitarist 
doing "rock moves" to songs like that woulda been too much!  I s'pose 'cos 
it's STILL more than just songs/music to me.

oi oi, that's yer lot...
