[kj] KJ flashback: Dave Kovacevic

[Cliff Livingston]

i heard someone lit him on fire,maybe it was Raven,dunno if that's true,but
hilarious either way.Dave was nice and a bit stand offish the few times i
met him,i got the feeling the band bullied him a bit,and dunno if it was
true,but he seemed timid,but nice enuf,extremities era.
