Nardwuar vs. Jello Biafra (2010)

Nardwuar's 11th interview with Jello Biafra done at Chapel Arts Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada!

[@PsychoHF]

I like how Rotten said Jello was selling himself... that's a pretty hypocritical thing to say, especially for him.

[@retroshark]

I love Jello so much, he's such a character and always makes me smile and laugh.

[@n0-one0]

Jello is a communist pseudo-intellectual cosplaying as an anarchist cowboy. He's just another milquetoast lefty pretending to have all the answers.

Jello Biafra is like interviewing Eric Andre. It's great that Nardwuar isn't phased out by their passive aggressive technique.

[@jasonlieberman4606]

Neither then have any objective to actually maliciously demean Nardwuar. They're both tricksters is all that is

I am always amazed at the artistry and intelligence of Jello Biafra. Whether you agree or disagree with his politics, he truly is an amazing person.

[@maxb.chorney2102]

I'm a History student at university and I've read that book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and I'm also a JB&GSM fan and I never knew that's what that song was about. My entire life is being flipped upside down right now.

I love how Jello Biafra was trying to be nice and not shittalk Johnny Rotten but then he hears Johnny having a projectionary little shitfit about him.

He even still managed to take the high road. Lydon is just a piss-ant.

[@idontcareaboutyou7757]

@@cameronjohnson3529 you mean that Lydon pissing Jello on his head like a ant at any time. no comparison, Jello stole his bandmates music hiding behind his fake left wing politics crap. Lydon is a true anarchist and a giant compared to this little weirdo, and is beloved by any bandmates he had.

Often I have wondered what Wesley Willis would think about certain events or news stories, and it was nice to hear someone else does too!

[@GranTruismo4head]

I love how he threw those embarrassmints and kind of shudder or convulses

+sub scorcher you'll fuck yourselves even better with Drumph and even with Hilary but I'd go with the lesser of the two evils named Hilary instead of a facist supremacist radical lunatic who should have all his name stripped off his towers if he gets disgracefully thrown out of the party and loses.....hell Ted Nugent would be better than Dana Drumph

Jello's impression of Wesley Willis was great!!! I could see that... He'd be head-butting all the way to the stage.

[@toomworld]

My dad was one of the founders of Black Oak Arkansas. When I was a teen, I got into DK and my dad told me he had shared a plane with them when he was later working with Foghat. He really didn’t like them. Called them “fouls mouthed snotty punks”

[@n0-one0]

Jello is an asshat. It's curious that he was inspired by Dandy.

[@Danielcaie92]

Biafra with the beard looks like a Klingon from the original series...

Oh god i cant unsee it

[@lvx_rose]

So glad I don't know what the fuck you mean. He just looks like Jello; no comparison. A real unique individual, it's quite obvious those terms are foreign to you.

Jello and Nardwuar are a marriage made in heaven.

[@colina1330]

He's so good at coming up with stuff like that right off the cuff.

[@EarlSmith2469]

Jello Rules, Johnny Rotten is a Legend too and it's sad that he has to say those things about Jello Biafra. Jello was sued by his bandmates over an accounting glitch that both parties admitted was simply erroneous and no fault of Jello, but the DK'S Capitalized on it and held Biafra personally responsible as if he was to blame and it was an intentional "Shortchanging" - Read the Fine print, I thought Jello bad, but then found out the whole story, the man is for REAL.

[@kenpstok151]

HA Johnny Rotten saying for someone to just be a human? hahahaha

[@jimjambananaslam3596]

And that saying things just to be outrageous is nauseating! Hahaha.

[@lucaperotti1070]

"He's too busy selling himself" was just too ironical

[@Laura-kg9le]

I like how he smiles right after he says " a cervical cancer vicim in the 1950s"..😮

I gotta say when Jello's getting paid he's a nice guy. Don't screw with him. Love ya buddy.

[@Wisconsin222]

"He's gonna whip on Beu's ass we have a black president Barrack Obama he will rock Saddam Hassan's ass to Russia"

[@SickBoy99a]

What you have to understand is that Rotten has never stood FOR anything. He's always been great at railing against or tearing down the establishment; and let's admit it, he IS good at that. If you need someone to be condescending and disgusted, he's your guy. But that's it. No substance. Nothing real. Rather like a professional book/music/movie/theatre critic. He says something clever and insightful; but in the end it's mostly about showing how clever he is and how stupid his target is.

[@Chiromanic]

Calm down, Jello fans! I have the utmost respect for both Biafra and Rotten. What does their little disagreement have to do with us? They're both fantastic in their own ways!

[@leependragon9400]

Just really the Ramones. I quite like other bands like the dolls, and richard hell and the voidoids. They were singing about problems they had, and what they felt. The Ramones sung about the exact same things the beatles did. It's not a contradiction, just clearly defined terms
