[kj] KJ in Irish Times:

[sade1]

Yeah, funny as that is (and true), but, Jaz lowers the aesthetic bar almost to 
being an eyesore. Even Grunge had more (j/k) style than Jaz in his boilersuits 
or his after-dinner chicken-bone shirts.  I see it like this for performers: you 
can make it a point to look GOOD, or a GOOD signature look or style, or just be 
non-descript, but just don't look bad.  And no more warpaint, plskthnks.
