The Dead Kennedys' original frontman called himself Jello Biafra. His campaign slogan was "There's always room for Jello. Biafra has remained active in politics. In , he sought the Green Party's presidential nomination. Biafra and another candidate finished tied for 2nd in delegate votes at the party's nominating convention, well behind nominee Ralph Nader. Biafra actively supported Nader's , , and campaigns. I lived in San Francisco from late to early During that time, Biafra co-hosted a punk-rock show on the Pacifica radio station in Berkeley.

Au contraire. Less than two years after his release from prison, White committed suicide in his garage by running a garden hose from his exhaust pipe to the interior of his car. Here's "Holiday in Cambodia," my favorite Dead Kennedys song.
The music is preceded by a brief scene from Apocalypse Now. That's pretty good, but nothing beats Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys:. Posted by Gary at AM. George November 20, at PM. Newer Post Older Post Home. Subscribe to: Post Comments Atom.
