tour to the next

who jabs you in the stomach then tells you to pull his finger; funny when
you were 5 but wearing more than a little thin now you're in your forties.

drive & side-projects, but year on year my interest in KJ is slowly chipped
away by mismanagement, broken promises & something else I can't think of
right now but it would have been good, really good & you'll have all nodded
