Hey Jason and the blogonauts,
The upcoming show for this Saturday will have me talking with guest host John Klepadlo about one of the OGs of 80's hardcore, the Dead Kennedys. Though there are plenty of things to rant about in terms of this revolutionary band, such as "Nazi Punks Fuck Off," "California Uber Alles" and Jello's own mayoral candidacy, I am guessing what we will spend a considerable amount of time talking about is the controversy over Jello Biafra, front man of the Dead Kennedys, funneling money from the band into his label Alternative Tentacles. Though I have heard many valid justifications of this action, I'm going to make the argument that not only was this wrong to do, but that the action arose from Jello's narcissism which can also be observed in his music. It'll surely be an interesting show, and this issue is the equivalent of the OJ Simpson trial for punks. Here's the set list:
1. Kill the Poor
2. Forward to Death
3. When Ya Get Drafted
4. Let's Lynch the Landlord
5. Your Emotions
6. Chemical Warfare
7. Your Emotions
8. I Kill Children
9. Holiday in Cambodia
10. Religious Vomit
11. Moral Majority
12. Nazi Punks Fuck Off
13. Terminal Preppie
14. I Am the Owl
15. A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch
16. Chicken Farm
17. Goons of Hazard
18. MTV Get Off The Air
19. Stars and Stripes of Corruption
20. Rambozo the Clown
21. Macho Insecurity
22. Anarchy for Sale
23. Chickenshit Conformist
24. Where Do You Draw The Line?
