"I'm Jazz, man - this is my bar," said the slightly drunk Englishman as we
entered a tiny dive in semi-suburban Prague. So we got talking. Or, arguing
fiercely more like, because for all that this Jazz fellow was pretty funny,
he was also an obstreperous bastard, and we just couldn't take his claims
seriously. "We're descended from aliens, who built the pyramids" was a key
theme. "I moved to Iceland to escape the apocalypse." All this, put forth
aggressively, followed by "I co-wrote the New Zealand national anthem, with
Mauris." "Bollocks" we said. Bit of googling the next day and it turned out
he wasn't lying. But also our man 'Jazz' had failed to tell us his most
outstanding claim to fame, that he was in fact Jaz Coleman, frontman of the
occasionally mind-blowing post-punk outfit Killing Joke.
