[kj] Track-by-track: Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman talks MMXII

[Rob Moss]

A little bit of knowledge is dangerous. 
Jaz, in fact all of us, get a nugget and expound on it. 
It's a dangerous thing when we allow our "pop stars" to act as politicians. 

A politicians long term view is the next election. 5 years. 
A "pop stars" view is 18 months. The next record. 
Take a catchy soundbite and talk about it with enough force and people who are already tuned into what you say, and you become a great leader. 

I have always thought that Jaz is a great communicator and oozes charisma. He has all the makings of a great cult leader. He runs the church of killing joke. He likes to tell people how they should live their lives. 

I prefer it when he shuts the fuck up and sings in front of the panzer division!
