it's a conspiracy

the yanks are scared that a MIDDLE CLASS ENGLISH REGGAE BAND might get the credit they deserve to warrant a grammy award

As always, you can always sneak Astro through Canada, we'll take him anytime!

I did, however, warn immigration about JB's "f*#king Canadians" comment from awhile back and about his collection of mankinis stolen from Pikey. They were none too impressed, so he may be left at the border when the band comes to Windsor.

Hmmmm, that's true, if I'm going to get him banned at the border, we will need a replacement drummer. Its going to be hard to find a drummer of his calibre...hmmmmmmmm, what to do, what to do?

hard ??
Impossible, surely.

No, just slightly difficult. But I'm sure we'll manage.

Too bloody right JB - the world cannot deal with another drummer embarking on a solo career under the misaprehension he can sing
