So the Dead Kennedys tour sporadically. They just finished six shows around Florida.
Their fall tour consists of a show in Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Milwaukee. That's it.
Jello is no longer on board but his replacement, some guy named Penalty, is suppposed to be really good. Supposedly they sound really good right now.
Should I drive fifteen hours to see them play in Milwaukee in November? I know people in Milwaukee. But if the show sucked, that would suck, that would be a long trip.
I've never heard their sound, but, I love reading their lyrics.
I think it's cool that people who haven't heard their music are familiar with their lyrics. Which speaks to Jello Biafro's talent. His sense of humor made the politics easy to digest.
California Uber Alles:
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president
Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool neice
Come quitely to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
