[kj] Blog entry at that new MySpace page of the KJ "documentary"

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

The singer of Bad Brains has gone down this route, too, i think, but 
through the vehicle of Rastafarianism.

I think there is something to be said for long-term drug and/or alcohol 
use, esp. in the legendary quantities Jaz has seemed to ingest them -- 
leading to permanent personality change, as much research shows. That 
is, overtime, lots of drugs will simply change the brain's biochemistry 
and the folks are "hard wired" to have a different personality. This is 
after years and years, of course.

Essentially, what I am talking about is really damage, which can not be 
reversed, for the same reason it's not possible to ever get anyone's 
brain back to the exact way it was constituted 10 years ago, anyway. The 
drug or alcohol use just makes it worse and can make it develop in 
undesirable ways. Or, if you're William S Burroughs -- and, hell, maybe 
Jaz -- desirable ways.
