[kj] The Great Jaz Coleman Publicity Stunt

[Paul Wady]

A good point Nick, well made.
 
Still a good publicity stunt though?  Got lots of attention, two reports in the Guardian (font of all true wisdom)?
 
In fact, a template job?  Exactly what a publicity stunt pro' would produce.  Something that works perfectly whilst appearing not to be a stunt, which would ruin the whole thing?
 
(I did not write the above.  It was a hacker named Dierdre.  Thankyou).

It was not a publicity stunt.

Killing Joke could not organise a publicity stunt even if they read the book "How to organise publicity stunts".

What this whole thing was, was a f--cking mess that got a lot of publicity.

And Jaz WAS being impersonated. By his other personality.

Our leader has always been a larger-than-life character, full of himself and a bit of a megalomaniac. One thing he can't be accused of is...being boring and a grey mediocrity!
 
To quote Geordie: "Priceless that guy absolutely priceless".
 
The Jaz vanishing act was clearly a publicity gag and a clever scam to publicise KJ and his new book and solo album, which resulted in shit loads of free advertising. The news went global - you would have to fork out a fortune for that kind of publicity!
 
The claim that he was being "impersonated" could well be bullshit. If Jaz didn't make the statement slagging of The Cult and cancelling the September tour, and the fact that Geordie, Youth and Big Paul wanted to do the tour, why the fuck can't KJ go ahead with the shows, particularly as The Mission said the Joke should be allowed to take part?
