Holy Fuckin' Crap --- Killing Joke, Devo & The Jesus Lizard together. Now THAT, my friends, is a fuckin' BILL!!!!!

I won't be going, of course, because I have no money, am soon to have no job and I have two little children, but still -- I'm happy it's hapening. 

Also, any time I see verification that Killing Joke are ACTIVE and PERFORMING, that gives us all reason to keep going.

Seriously, though -- KJ and Devo together? It simply doesn't get better than that for me.
