You see a rather attractive Human woman, of indeterminate age,
seated behind a desk. Behind her, a large photo of the band
BloodRunn can be seen, flashed across a wall screen. The name
"Pamela Jean Anton" is superimposed across the bottom of the
video screen.

PJA: International music sensation Kerran Eldritch-O'Connor,
hearthrob, and featured artist of the nova-hot band BloodRunn, is
listed in critical condition today, following what _many_ believe to
have been a _racially motivated_ assault, late Friday night.

The young musician / vocalist apparently slipped into a coma,
during the course of more than 5 grueling hours of emergency
surgery to repair the damage done by a viscious slash to his
right wrist, and a near-fatal stab wound to the heart.

His recovery is seen to be _further_ complicated by the
diagnosis of both exhaustion, AND severe diabetes -- which had
gone previously undetected, but the onset of which is believed to
have been triggered by the extreem trauma of his injuries.

Only family members are being admitted, during strict visiting
hours, at the private clinic where he's resting, while attempts are
made to maintain stabilization.

>>>>>[ Diggin thru the wasteland of "Kerran's" studio, it seems
he's
been a bit more diligent than we'd given him credit for! We found a whole
DREK-LOAD of tracks he'd laid down, nearly 95% complete!

With what _we've_ been working on -- and the stuff Afrique's come up
with -- we SHOULD be able to get this project turned out, after all!
And, only about a month behind schedule!

Colice? If you're up for it...I KNOW Sean wanted ya in on this.

own?

The higher-ups, here at the company, wanted me to run by you the
possibility of _holding off_ on the release of this package of
recordings. At least until we see which direction Kerran's condition
takes.

Without trying to seem..."indelicate"...he COULD take a turn for the
worst, at any time, given recent complications. And, heaven forbid
that anything _should_ happen to him, but taking that very REAL
possibility into consideration...the executives were hoping you might
decide to _postpone_ its release -- at least for a while.

A postumously released collection could bring in an _unprescidented_ amount
of revenue, given his...and the band's...
popularity -- providing all of you involved with CONSIDERABLE
royalties!

And, just THINK of what a FITTING tribute it would be to such an
extraordinarily TALENTED young man, tragically stolen from us, in
the "bloom of youth", at the height of his popularity...by the very
violence -- the SENSELESS violence -- he's given so MUCH of
himself to crusade against... +++++ LINK TERMINATED ]<<<<<
