Members alphajerk Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 i havent listened to the Dead Kennedy's in a long time, probably a decade but put on 'give me convenience or give me death' and hearing 'kinky sex' on it was pretty interesting considering the time we live in. i also found a really bizarre [prophetic] speech from Jello on youtube circa 2001: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mBU2IjiNg0 seems even way back to 87 [probably back to the beginnings of man] things just never change with politics, foreign bull{censored}, world domination.

Members jackpine Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Oddly enough the Dead Kennedy's just really never crossed my radar out here in the sticks. Didn't really know anything about Jello. My god the guy was eloquent, concise, and horribly prophetic. Makes me want to give a listen..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphajerk Posted November 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 man, dead kennedy's were one of the best punk bands... can probably still hold that title with what is out there today. jello biafra is a pretty big political activist still and speeches from him can be found on youtube. lot of videos of DK as well. ernest, now i couldnt really post what you were hoping for here now could i?

Members blue2blue Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 damn, this thread is not what I was hoping for... moving along... Try the X-Ray Spex "Oh, Bondage, Up Yours!" thread. Of if you're more the sullen, passive aggressive type, maybe Magazine's "Permafrost" will be more your style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super 8 Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Jello is a very insightful guy. It's unfortunate that the DK's wound down with a bunch of lawsuits. There was a really interesting "This American Life" episode involving Jello and the prosecutor who was nailing him for indecency on the Frankenchrist album. If you dig a bit on NPR website I'm sure it's available for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
