Nearly 30 years ago he told me ,while growing up in Boulder, his father made him climb in Eldo, and that he hated it ever since but that was 30 years ago. Last time I saw him he was quite rotund.

When the DK played SLC in around '85, Jello took the stage in a Donnie and Marie t-shirt. Hilarious. Of course, when he stripped it off, he had his chest/belly hair shaved in the shape of an upside down cross.
I caught him when he dove off the stage...good times. Ha ha.

Jello's sister died climbing. Interesting to see him climbing something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jello_Biafra
Saw him a couple of years ago in the Rainbow Market in SF full on talking to himself. Personally I lost a lot of respect for him when he was sued by the other members of Dead Kennedy's (among other bands such as Neurosis)for not paying them their royalties. He no longer has the Dead Kennedy's and many other groups catalog on Alternative Tentacles. hence the above list of former bands on the label.

Hey more power to him!
Funny this thread brought back a memory I had forgotten:
Back in '79/80 I was into punk. Went to my friend's apartment to buy a "nickel" of leaf. When I left I chose a random door and with a fatty black marker, I drew a big DK symbol dead center on the front door.
The next day my friend calls and says the middle eastern family that lived downstairs had come over and complained to his parents about the writing on their door. They had no idea who the Dead Kennedys where so translated the symbol to be an axe and wanted me to lift the "curse" I had placed on them and their family.
I could not stop laughing (I was 14 yo). I never did go back over there so started buying homegrown from someone else.
God I was such an a-hole when I was younger..

This is awesome, funny stories here too. I used to carve DK symbols on my grip tape & everywhere else when I was a little sh#t head.
I'd go clip some bolts with Jello, have a feeling that would be right up his alley. "Give me convenience or give me death" lol, he's down for fixed anchors & rap bolts for sure!

I saw Jello give spoken word in Bozeman in 1986 or so. He took the tickets at the door on account of he was the greeter - totally DIY.
Somewhere along in his spew he was getting heckled by the audience and was totally getting into it Jello-style. Then someone shouted out something funny as hell that totally popped his mojo - he couldn't stop laughing. Finally he stops and asks "Can I use that?". He get a "yes", pulls a scrap of paper out of his pocket and scribbles on it. Then he gets back on his Jello train and all is well in the universe.
I didn't see him skiing at Bridger Bowl the next morning.

Very interesting story about his sister. Another one of the early punk singers ,now a folk and punk singer Penelope Huston, has a brother who is a mountain guide in Washington. And lets not forget Fritz Fox of the Mutants. Still skies with a couple of replace hips.

The band Neurosis sued Jello first which lead to the lawsuit from the other members of the Dead Kennedys. Here is what Scott Kelly from Neurosis has to say about Jello. What happened with AT?
Alternative Tentacles ripped us off. That’s the simple version. They cooked the books and we called them on it. They accused us of all sorts of things and being greedy. And it was only about $3000!
It was basically an honor thing. There was no honor there. I don’t know what to say about it except that I was proud to be on the label when they approached us to do us records. We held them in high regard and it couldn’t be further from that now.
Label head Jello Biafra (former singer of the Dead Kennedys) also lost a lawsuit filed by his former band mates essentially claiming he’d been withholding royalties on the back catalog.
They won in court because they were correct. If he would rip us off for a small amount of money then he’d go after them for huge amount of money. When is the last time he had to punch a clock or worry about rent? He doesn’t. Who lives in a house on the hill? He does. I live in a trailer in the woods. I have a day job and always have. What he did to his fellow band mates is all there in black and white.
Full article if you are a Neurosis fanhttp://www.hellbound.ca/2010/09/scott-kelly-of-neurosis-the-hellbound-interview/
Jello is an ego maniac. I have stood within ear shot of him at dozens of Bay Area shows in the past twenty years and heard him tell numerous people the old "do you know who I am?" line.
