[kj] Meta Killing Joke

[Brendan Quinn]

Now that’s a coincidence, was checking out the Wiki entry for Killing Joke
and look what I found:

 

At the same time, some journalists were suspicious about Killing Joke's
image and wrote that "Killing Joke's music includes certain fascist
tendencies...". This was a common misconception because, if anything,
Killing Joke were a politically apolitical or "meta-political" - with much
of their disturbing imagery acting as ironic or cynical symbols for a world
which they perceived was becoming ever more materialist, unjust and
conservative. Killing Joke had various 'run-ins' with a number of music
journalists at the time.

Politically apolitical…one of those words is largely redundant, although
arguably not…
