[kj] kj management?

[Karen Weil]

To me, Guevara represents the naivete of a movement that -- however well-meaning its intentions in the beginning -- was destined to fail, because communism on paper seems like a good idea. In real life? Not so much. 
But, an icon is an icon, I guess. Same with Cobain.

  Che has been distorted to the point where American 13 year olds are wearing his image.  I really can't say to what extent he did fail. People who have only recently died (relatively speaking) are distorted to mirror a consumerist culture.  Makes me think of the painting in a local coffee house that has Kurt Cobain with a halo on his head.  No irony was meant.

  Have to agree with you on that, Exo.

Howard Stern.....I only watched him when he filmed his cable show and then aired it.  At the very, very beginning he had some potential, but after a month, well, the "when was the first time you did (insert "nasty" sex act)?" got very tiring.  Epic fail.  I just love his symbol for his radio show is a raised dark fist.  I am surprised it isn't him in a Che Guevara beret.  Jaysus.  Whoa!  He is talking about S& M with Pam Anderson!!

      Don't know Mancow; never heard his show, so I can't say (although the name is pretty amusing). I know I do not care for Howard Stern, personally. Satellite radio can have him.

        Mancow is a funny sort;  he plays his role pretty freely re:  being a right wing person.  They took him off the air like three seconds after they put him on in the Detroit market.  I guess it was because he actually was funny, and was winking at the audience after making some outrageous statement.

        Yeah, fight the power, Howard Stern.

        Brendan: You're right that probably Cheney will never be held accountable. When he finally kicks off, this will be the national reaction, I think: "No. Big. Loss."

        As to Mancow, well I'll say this much: he's got more gonads than Sean Hannity ever will. ; )

          Kinda on topic - I personally think the reason that Cheney is on the warpath (in the press) at the moment is defensive – lots of talk in the leftie press about bringing the previous administration to account for torture…so he’s doing the old ‘attack the attackers’ gig. That’s my 2c worth. I’d be very surprised to see Obama do anything at all about it.

          I think it's just the ridiculous "Zero Tolerance" posture that was adopted post-September 11th..... compensating for turning a blithely blind eye on the actual day by stridently locking the barn door after the horse had escaped.




            
          I didn't think twice about wearing the badge for the very reason Darren asserts -- if I *was* going to commit some act of terrorism, would I be silly enough to declare it on my lapel?

          Equally with Alex’s badge – would someone genuinely planning mayhem advertise the fact?

          I was given a rather disconcerting shakedown at JFK airport after deplaning from a Virgin Atlantic flight from London (where'd I'd just been to see the KJ 2005 Anniversary shows) for wearing a "MALICIOUS DAMAGE OPERATIVE" badge (procured from Mistah Coles).

            whats not funny is i got told by police saturday night at a music festival in nottingham city centre to cover my t shirt up because it had the word ' cunt ' on it. the reason given because it was no suitable because there were children around.the fact that it was gone 21-30 and the artists were singing about sex drugs and rocknroll meant nothing.laugh? i did loudly and called him a 'girl' .

                Does anyone know who is handling KJ management at the moment - Name, address?


                I spoke with Patrick in NYC, but I'm not certain if he was their tour manager or manager in a broader sense.
