I stumbled across an old friend of mine who has reared his head in the podcast world lately.
Mr. Jello Biafra.
No, I don't actually know Jello, but he and his music have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact one of my first freelance stories was a review of a spoken word performance he did in Denver. It was the first time I heard the whole Dead Kennedy's indecency fiasco and it is in large part the inspiration for those "this album may contain offensive material" stickers that are on EVERY SINGLE ALBUM OUT THERE. (Wouldn't it be easier to assume all albums are offensive to someone and put CLEAN stickers on the few albums that couldn't possibly offend anyone? Tipper Gore, I'm looking at you here!)
Anyway, if you want a Dead Kennedy's history lesson go here .
All I wanted to say is that Alternative tentacles has a great Podcast out there for the download. Check it out. And tell tehm Zak sent you.
Here's the original FrankenChrist image that got Jello in deep shit with the feds. It is now posted in all it's glory on Amazon.com (where any sexual pervert can look at it if he/she so chooses) with a little caption asking you, the Amazon user: "Was this image helpful? Yes No"
Yes Amazon, yes this image was very helpful.
p.s. Jello, if you have a chance, please listen to black greg and tell me what you think.
It would kinda be an honor. zak@blackgreg.com
