[kj] Raven

[Rob Moss]

This is really sad to read. I wonder why Jaz felt the need to say that?
Raven did have a dark side but I never saw him do anything stronger than dope and I spent a lot of time with him when he was splitting up with Nova. I'm not convinced at all. 
I do agree that ministry was the end for him though and think that certain people could have done him bigger favours. 

Just don't see the benefit in making this statement and feel disappointed.

I'm not surprised one of us died actually...Raven and Youth were homeless...Everybody had been through hell by then. Everyone had drug and alcohol problems. There was lots of violence...I had such bad panic attacks. Geordie was not in a good way. Raven was really bad. Not only was he drinking with us but ever since we met Raven, he would flirt with heroin. When he went off with Ministry it was the fucking end of him."
