[kj] The KJ bit in Burgess' autobiography

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Jamie,
 
Speak of the paper tigers! I just finished the almost 800 pages of  
brilliance of Mr. Mark Burgess's bio book and have to say it is a treat to read  after 
hearing that this was going to come out some years ago. I am in the same  boat 
as you my friend, for The Chameleons and KJ are my two favorite bands  of 
well. The book is really well written and interesting to read but the last  
chapter of him babbling about the meaning of life,   Cayce and  saucers as such was 
not how I thought the book would end for the last  chapter. I personally ran 
through that chapter for he was sounding like a  professer at Harvard or 
Oxford University. HA! But none the less I know  there are some fans on here such 
as Ade who would really enjoy it. It is  really a good read and get it! 
 
Jamie, I think The Chameleons got more credit then KJ though. After all  they 
had more hits on the radio where The Chameleons were more popular in the  
American college radio genre. But the bands are in a great cult status it just  
sucks they cannot get along and hold hands together. HA! :)
 
Cheers,

Yo,  homos  
I know it was mentioned aaaaages ago but I don't know if it was ever  posted?
If not, here's the excerpt from Mark Burgess' autobiography that tells  the 
tale of when The Chameleons were booked to play with Killing Joke...

It's fair to say that my 2 favourite bands from yesteryear aren't  friends.
For me The Chameleons are the Yin to Killing Jokes Yang.
Neither really got the recognition or success they deserved &  although poles 
apart musically, the influence each band has had on shaping  modern guitar 
music is immense.


well, it's a theory...
