[kj] Bloodsport

[Alexander Smith]

Late to the table on this, but might it be a bit of poetic license considering the title of the song?  Might Jaz be assuming a role for this track, so to speak. It does hearken back to similarly stupid statements like “I want to be a suicide bomber.”

It's a stupid thing to say, especially in front of a crowd that probably includes a few hunters who will probably choose to take his statements as an endorsement of their attitudes. I don't believe Jaz's back-to-basics philosophy would include killing for pleasure. You take everything with a grain of salt, as usual...
