[kj] (ot) Any questions for Wayne ?

Fri, 27 Feb 2004 20:56:24 +0000

Jaz told me in 94 that it was Simon that got him and Geordie back on 
speaking terms. Never thought I'd ever have The Mission to thank for 
anything.

Did Jaz actually work on that Mission album, or did he just get drunk with 
them one night in the studio.... and then later found his name on the album 
credits (a la Evan Dando getting Noel Gallagher drunk and "writing" a song 
with him.)?
