[kj] Morrissey n' Jonesey at LA show

[Brendan]

He just doesn't have the range...great voice IMO, I've seen FF twice and
thoroughly loved both times...but he can't pull that off. It was
God-awful, surprised he didn't bin it straight away. Still they're mates I
gather, all good...and that story of him getting in the thick of it and
rocking out to KJ up the front with fans...sweet as!
