...simmering with violence,” says Jenkins of the confrontation. “It was wonderful. I reminded him of what he said to me when I was in 6th grade...Time for you to be scared of me and he was. This place is still a fucking mess. It was great. Terribly uncomfortable.” A GREATER CALLINGIt’s this sort of violent, aggressive speech that has gotten the front-man in trouble before, like in 1999 when Blue’s “Slow Motion” became a lightening rod for criticism...
