[kj] The apocalyptic philosophy of Killing Joke

[Tim Bucknall]

this is prob a cop-out, but i find Jaz's apocalyptic ramblings to make more sense if you accept the spirit of  them (ie: the world is fucked) rather than, forensícally examining them.
it's possible to say he got a lot of stuff right if you look at the post-911 world.

obviously i completely ignore all his post pandemonium rantings after he became a bloated rock star cliche
but i think that in 79-90 he had something worth saying.

then again listening to his early pronouncements can fill one with a terrible sense of disappointment ie: in 1979 he said he wanted to destroy the christian religion, in 2005 he can manage nothing more revolutionary than touring with motley crue

    (a) Do you really think that Jaz's ramblings can be dignified with the term "philosophy"?

    Yes, why not?

    (b) Do you take anything he says about the world seriously? Jaz's analysis of world events is like a rather simplistic comic book.

    I'll say I have agreed with much of his sentiment over the years. It's one of the reasons I like KJ.
