[kj] Paul Raven

[Paul Rangecroft]

Part of me wishes he'd managed to clean up his act, but on the other
hand all that stuff that he probably shouldn't have been doing was
kind of what made him who he was and so entertaining; plus his
untimely death did lead to the rest of the band sorting themselves out
and producing great albums again, so who knows... He certainly
enriched our lives while he was around and had a real respect and
concern for others however lowly. RIP PVR.
