Jello Biafra - Tales from the Trial

[@drunkardjohnny]

havent listened to this in 15 years or so, saw him live and he talked for 8 hours or so. entertaining and very thought provoking.

[@Laura-kg9le]

drunkardjohnny who the hell can talk for 8 hours??? my throat would be torn apart

[@simonkormendy849]

I need to spend more time listening to this guy, I always enjoy checking out his "What Would Jello Do" series of KZbin videos, have lots of respect for him.

[@johnbidochka2795]

This court case is as absurd as the PMRC hearings in 1985. I have observed that there are two things that should never go together - absolute power and complete ignorance.

[@contactkeithstack]

John Bidochka so where are we at today?

[@tannerrennat7786]

Good luck with that...

[@935323]

You gotta understand that true intellectuals don't crave power and authority. They question it. They speak power to it. That's why we have so many dumb assholes in seats of power. Ignorance is almost a pre-requesite.

[@A..D..D]

Funny how they usually do go hand in hand

a couple of months ago, i had to write a paper for school on censorship, and i talked about this case. i really really REALLY wish that i had known about this video, it would have been a great source

Of all the Punk/Hardcore and Metal shows I've been to only one had police present, it was Slayer on their Reign in Blood tour, they were expecting armies of nazi skins, there were only ten and we escorted them out ourselves 😁

Why did Jello have a bunch of milk carton kids on his wall?

[@joeyquirk64]

probably some joke. maybe he had them just incase he saw one of the kids he could report it. probably just a joke.

[@mioufie23]

because he knew where they were!

[@favorites483]

There was someone I knew on the Cass Corridor Dally in the Alley Council (Detroit) who collected gynecological equipment, home pictures of deformed children enjoying Christmas, coffeetable books of police shots of suicide scenes, and mugshots of public enemies. Dude used to sell drugs to carnies long ago. Typical 80's/90's Joe Cole-esque edgelord type shit.

Lost all respect for Jello after he was convicted for fraud and malice after withholding a decade's royalties from 3/4 of Dead Kennedeys. He fired Alternative Tentacles GM Kristin von Till after she told East Bay Ray how Jello was screwing them. Jello lost in court and had to pay $250k in damages. Nomeansno and BH Surfers later both got control of their AT albums. He's the worst kind of hypocrite

When you look at what Dead Kennedys have done compared to a Jello has been doing, it’s easy to see who the actual liars are. They clearly had greed in their mind and tried to use the music for a Levi’s commercial.
