Magsofy – Jah Wobble at Elsewhere

People talk about honesty in art, about truth, about players' transformations and how sometimes they lose their heart.  Not Jah Wobble.  No way...I've never seen PiL with Jah, I've never seen his solo projects, and I've never really paid that much attention to him....
