[kj] Triggers at Yawn...

[sade1]

Ugh! the only thing worse than others relentlessly quoting "Eighties" (after I 
cite KJ as my fave) is for others then to either or also quote "Love Like Blood" 
and for toppers to say it like *I'm* the waking Anachronism. 
A quick reply that KJ has released 3 albums in the last 7 years puts 
the Clueless shoe on the other foot (theirs). 

 
... ... ... ... ... ... 

[looking at the current state of things..]
 
'Who has the fun.. 
  ..is it always a man with a gun...? 
    Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

Yes, the standard "eighties" reference I've heard far too many times.

Here in the States -- even here in ever hip NYC -- whenever I invoke Killing 
Joke as "my favorite band," most  people either stare at me blankly or cite 
"Eighties."
