[kj] I had my doubts..

[adrianwason at btinternet.com]

i've nearly finished the pdf
is it much different to the book?
the pdf always fondly remembers Raven
Cant recall much about Jaz being promiscuous
There are some very interesting passages in the pdf-about Geordie/keyboard players lighter fuel!
I've read a lot late at night after a few glasses of wine so will prob have to read the real one which is only right.
Whats the cd like??

Im about 3/4ths through (well the pdf ) 

 I don't know if its the same format/order as the book, but it does 
jump around a lot.  

  I think one has to really be a core fan/'gatherer' to have it 
have any real relevance. 
 He does have some cool recounts and gives some details on time 
periods, song lyrics etc, that are interesting- , but he spends a good bit 
of time meticulously detailing some of his personal accounts on the island that 
I just dont see an outsider having much interest in (though I personally enjoy 
it, find it interesting, and had a hard timing putting it down at certain 
points)  

  The occult ramblings I find interesting ,  can follow most 
of it, but a lot of it is technical and doesn't provide much practical 
application (although I have added a few things from it to a presentation 
that I do)-- I dont he was too concerned about that,, but I guess it provides an 
interesting peek into that head of his-- which I also dont thnk it quite as tidy 
and structured as the book presents, but that would pretty much go for anyone.  

as for the 'order of kaph' -- not sure who he got to do his logo designs! 
(if book has same ones as the pdf) 
but sounds like he could be lookin' for a few good gatherers to join the 
ranks at some point.. 

yes Jaz does mention some of the promiscuity that went in during those 
raucous 80's years, but  didn't seem to do it in a bragging sort of way- if 
that was different, then it could have made me lose a little respect for him.  

I do plan to finish , and then get the book to re read- I would personally 
invest the time in a double read . 
I find it stimulating and most of the books I have to read are 
generally people taking (similiar) complex info and making it more 
streamlined and friendly- this is somewhat the opposite, so (to me) it makes it 
a bit interesting..

So  Alex what would you rate this.  A, B, C, etc.  I'm a fan boy but I'm  wearing thin on all of these Pledge drives.  But I am a Colsey

It is mercifully in a sort  of chronological order, so skimming about (because, say, you DON'T want to  read about a Jaz's ruminations on any number of strenuously esoteric matters)  is possible.
