[kj] Message from Big Paul

[Alexander Smith]

Well said, Matt. At the end of the day, while some of us are  
disappointed and out some funds that were reserved for facilitating  
our entertainment, this is Big Paul's livelihood now. Prior to re- 
joining the band, Paul had carved out a vocation for himself -- one  
that had to be put on hold, I'd imagine, in order to accommodate a  
resumption of duties with Killing Joke. If the machinery involved with  
furthering Killing Joke fails to work, that's a greater loss to him  
than it is to us.

That applies to Geordie, Jaz & Youth, of course, as well. Still, I'm  
inclined to believe that it's Big Paul who has made the greatest  
sacrifice here.
