[kj] Geordie's solo album

[Jiri]

I agree with your point -- and I'm hoping for a healthy bit of creative 
tension rather than mutual pats on the back.

But as far as public comments go, I don't know how much we should ever 
read into them, considering the interests of humo(u)r and 
self-promotion. If I had such a public working relationship with some of 
my old friends, I'd be disappointed if they *didn't* jab me in a few 
interviews as a fat geography teacher. Youth was credited on KJ2003 but 
didn't want to tour -- that's fine ... then expect some public ribbing! 
As an answer to "where's Youth on this tour?" that's more entertaining 
than: "Well, we have two bass players. Raven was more eager and free."
