went to see you all in Manchster, saw you in the 80s with Crass, was really moved by your cheeky smile but also that you are still angry. Sad that the songs still have so much relavence, we gotta keep fighting in whatever way you can. I work with kids living on the streets in latin america and uk, you save lives with the life boat, its all still political about helping other people survive. So hats off to you, thanks for ignighting my political flame ( you book made me laugh and cry in equal amounts.
To the cynics lets see what you have done, to the doubters well offer hope and to the gloomy bastards that contribute nothing well laugh in your face.
Love ( lets not shy away from the word) and thanks

I meant to send you this message a couple of weeks ago. I sincerely hope that you ENJOY every second of this Last Supper Tour mate. I hope you have the comforts of the hotel rooms that you denied yourself with Crass. More than anything else, I hope that you make yourself a few bob because you earned it. The hours you’ve worked … Bloody Hard Too! … for the rewards you’ve reaped well, I’m fucking glad you’re not my boss ‘cos I couldn’t have kept that up for 5 weeks, let alone 5 years.
There will be the Anarchy Police and Punk elite who will feel the need to have their say; I hope that you don’t take any negative feedback to heart because I promise you from the bottom of my cold, black, heart that what you gave us in those 5 short years are alive and well; and still form the basis of decisions that are being made 30+ years later.
I sold out. I became a physicist and eventually ended up in management. If it hadn’t been for those words written between 1977 and 1984, however, I might have taken some very different decisions. When I was asked to make redundancies, I refused. I said, let’s get more work in so everybody can stay employed. I didn’t get my way every time, but I’ve never said “Yes Sir, I Will” (which was fucking dreadful aside from track 4 by the way … thanks for not playing it from start to finish during the Last Supper) – I wanted you to know that YOUR WORDS have penetrated into areas of the corporate world and family life, beyond the limits that I think you are aware.
So … enjoy the gigs. Live comfortably afterwards. Have some beers. Pocket some pension.

Thank you, for your support Gav. I am really enjoying it, I think everyone that has come along enjoyed it as well. The songs written then are still having the power today. I am now looking forward to taking The Last Supper to Europe.

Dear Steve,
I am still waiting for your book in the mail but I can already tell its going to be good. I’d like to Thank You and the other members of Crass. If it wasn’t for your inspiring words and philosophies I would still be the shattered dream I was 2 years ago. Your guidance has helped me become a better person and over come many of my fears. I hope you having a good time preforming the last supper. Maybe I’ll see you in MA,USA?
Sincerely,
Alex

Great book, well done, geezer… the bit about the lifeboats had me welling up… in a good way
Cracking show in A’dam last week as well… one of the best gigs I ever saw was you and conflict, billed as The Banned, at Sunderland Bunker in the 80s… you had your brass section then, don’t forget !
Take care, enjoy the rest of the tour and give Beki a hug from her uncle Pyley
Fanx for… for more than I could properly express !!
