[kj] Jaz gone AWOL/Mental Health

[nicholas fitzpatrick]

With respect, the band saying their lifelong friend has disappeared without a word and that they are concerned for his well-being, is not "nothing" on which to base a few assumptions.

Jaz has acknowledged mental health issues in the past. I'm thinking mainly around the time of an interview with him and Anne Dudley. 

Speculating about his mental health is certainly sensitive, but quite reasonable. It is fair to say the speculation is not prurient by people around here, many of whom will be quite genuinely concerned for the health and happiness of Our Great Leader over and above whether it means getting a new KJ album or not.

I think you're all making a lot of assumptions based on nothing. The Joke moves in mysterious ways; and talks about mental health issues or similar are best left out of this

Here's hoping Jaz returns safe and well, but the line in In Cythera: "If, I don't return..." is a bit worrying.
 
I wonder if he heard about the tragic incident in Denver, Colorado when gunman James Holmes, who told police: "I am the Joker" after killing 12 people at a midnight screening of the film Batman: The Dark Knight Rises? According to media reports Holmes had consulted a psychiatrist before his shooting spree. Didn't Jaz mention The Joker actor, Heath Ledger in interviews, and that Jaz himself was offered a part in a film as The Joker?
 
Or is it more likely Jaz's mysterious disappearance is connected to the Mayan End of the Age predictions, for December 21st 2012?
 
Didn't Jaz suffer on occasions "breakdown", "depression", was "in genuine need of psychiatric help" and that when he didn't wear the mask he suffered "derangement"?
I myself had mental health problems a few years ago, so I know how tough it can be.
