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.

One xmas years ago I pissed my mom off bad when my little brother opened his gift from me. It was a DK's "too drunk to f*#k" T shirt. She was really mad, hell it's what he wanted for xmas.

I pissed my Mom off once by wearing the infamous Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt (socks & cocks) on Christmas morning. I was just trying to get a reaction. It worked.

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.

So what's next? Johnny Rotten slacklining in his PIL PJs?!

Then, again, perhaps not..."I’m no one’s lap dog, you can’t put me on a leash."

Thanks, all, for bringing back some hilarious memories.
