[kj] Five page article in this month's Q Magazine!

[CEPLASTER at aol.com]

The Q piece was very interesting to say the  least.  The fact that the writer 
actually went to that island retreat for  the interview made it stand out 
from the usual press junket pieces.
The only issue I have (and this has nothing to do with the article itself)  
is the extent to which alcohol seems to  play such a central role in Jaz's  
everyday routine.
      For someone who claims to have periodicly  contemplated suicide, the 
last thing you should be doing is chugging booze  24-7.  Whatever the drinking 
might do for the insomnia and the panic  attacks, it is after all a depressant, 
and ultimately it must be doing more harm  than good.  Not to mention what it 
will do to your insides over  time.
      While I have absolutely nothing against  drinking or any of that stuff, 
it's one thing to tie one on from time to time,  another thing altogether to 
be a drunken putz.  Jaz is a very smart guy and  I'm sure he can find ways to 
rationalize just about anything, but ultimately the  only person he's fooling 
is himself.  I just hope that when and if the band  make it back over to 
America,   he and Geordie will be on reasonably  good behavior.  One Mark E. Smith 
is plenty, right?   
        By the way,  any news  concerning the band?    Thanks, Carl  P.
