[kj] [KJ] Killing Joke "Rawk"

[Alexander Smith]

And why should that be? Worried about people judging you because you  
happen to own -- let alone like -- an album or two by Sting or  
Supertramp or something?

Look, EVERYone -- even the hippest of uber-hepcats -- owns a guilty  
pleasure or two. Let's all stop being such ridiculous elitists, for  
cryin' out loud.

LET THE SKELETONS OUT OF THOSE CLOSETS!!
