[kj] KJ's relationship with Gathering

[Brendan Quinn]

You forget which band you’re dealing with - Coleman’s razor – the most
convoluted, complex reason is almost always the correct one.

"Do you think they are old farts who haven't grasped the internet?"
Occam's Razor, the most obvious, simple reason is usually the correct one.

the Gathering and talk to us? At least once? Do you think the internet,
given it's ability to bring people closer together, means they've no excuse
to basically ignore us for the last 10 years? Raven spoke to us, why don't
they? Just a 'Hello' would be nice. A freakin postcard maybe. Doesn't have
to be forever.

the odd message on KJ.com.

his recent side project instead of going through a third-party on 'his'
MySpace page.

> Do you think they are old farts who haven't grasped the internet? Or could

they have legitimate concerns about being pestered? Are they just aloof or
trying to be 'cool'? Or do they just not really give a f*ck about their
long-suffering fan base?

all you get is a Gathering 25th Anniversary CD with yet another version of
Wardance on it. Coming here for a bit of a chat would be better.

> I wrote to them once and asked if they'd like to come around to my house

for tea with my mum and dad - and they couldn't even be bothered to reply.
Yet Bono, Prince and Liam Gallagher, they all came around and we had a great
laugh.
