Kill yourself over Ian MacKaye? I wonder what she looked like?

Ian wrote me when I was 15 in 1983 on a Dischord postcard just a short note
but cool.

Ha, Jaz says he doesn't communicate to people by letter. Well, to
"loonies." Whatever that means in Jaz-land. Incidentally, a woman also
got obsessed with Ian MacKaye and killed herself over him, but he still
writes folks, etc.

JAZ: "We’ve had so fucking many homing loonies, I can’t tell you mate!
I’ve had them come to my island from all over the world. Like real
psycho homing loonies. That’s why I never communicate with anyone by
letter or any other way. I do when I’m doing a gig, we’re really open
people in Killing Joke, but generally there’s people, you don’t know
what they’re really like.”

“Let me give you one example. I can give you ten! Straight off! Right, a
woman that followed me for fourteen years and put her kid into the same
school as my daughter and gave my kid loads of presents, real fucking
psychos I’ve had! One wasn’t so long ago, this guy, was a Killing Joke
fan, comes backstage at one of the Italian gigs, seems nice enough, but
Geordie goes: ‘You, I don’t like you. Don’t know what it is about you, I
don’t like you!’ Very astute and very intuitive, Geordie. And this guy
turns up in New Zealand, ‘I’ve got relatives over here’, all this, seems
nice enough, comes to see my concerts with the orchestra and he’s a
music student himself. So I’m going out to my island, and I said to him,
look you can look after my flat in Auckland and feed my cats for me. And
we had a bit of a get together for some friends before I left for the
island, and this guy comes, all my friends are there, and suddenly goes,
‘You’re trying to take over my mind!’ ‘Beg your pardon?’ ‘You want to
sacrifice me in a black magic ritual!’ (laughs) I went, ‘Would you like
to step outside?’ Man, you’ve got no idea! I took him to a priest, this
guy, and said ‘You need help’, the priest said ‘Don’t send me one like
that again!’”

VLP: You’re known for having occult interests, maybe that attracts them?
