[kj] Benny

[Leigh Newton]

Nah, he's a session dude and bloody good one. He'll never be hard up, I'm 
guessing. A gig like Killing Joke doesn't come along everyday. It'll most likely 
be stuff like that link that was posted. Still, not exactly back-breaking 
labour. Not a bad way to make a living at all.

Glad to know he's working, always worried after him after circumstance moved him 
through the Joke lower intestine.  Here's hoping he saves his money so he can 
get back to something at a respectable level some day.  This sounds like Go West 
and David Bowie spooging on a paisly button down in 1987.
