I Fought the Law (and I won) is about a corrupt cop, right? I remember hearing something like that.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]I Fought the Law (and I won) is about a corrupt cop, right? I remember hearing something like that.[/QUOTE]

It's about the Twinkie defense story. Dan White, a former San Francisco supervisor went in to City Hall and shot and killed Harvey Milk, the first openly gay city supervisor in San Francisco, and the mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone ("I blew George & Harvey's brains out with my six-gun"). He killed the mayor first then he went down the city supervisors offices, passing by Diane Feinstein (later mayor of SF, Jello's opponet in the 79 election, now senator of CA) on to find Harvey Milk and shoot and kill him too. When tried his attorneys used the defense that White's depression that lead to the assassination was because of him eating Twinkies ("Twinkies are the best friend I've ever had")


Other lines in the song are general police corruption stuff.

What a bunch of s[I]h[/I]itty attorneys. I had a feeling it was something about corruption and stuff. "I am the law so I won."

Ah the Dead Kennedys is and always will be the best political punk band in my book

by the way Rawhide funny as hell

Jello is definately my hero. I wish I knew someone as cool as he is. "Vote for me or I'll kill myself." That pretty much sums it all up.

Anyway, my friend (and his dad) have heard of a large protest in DC on September 24, where Jello will be speaking for Operation Cease-Fire. I plan to go, and hopefully see him. Just thought I should put that out there.

does anyone listen to the Melvins, Jello's other band?

HAhahah, it's not his other band. Just a band he sang some songs with, like Nomeansno.

sorry, no need to laugh in my face ...

Don't face the moniter, then it won't be in your face.

haha ill take that into consideration

Has anyone listened to Muinty on the bay i've heard it has really bad sound quality is the correct or false?

[QUOTE=Skidmark Steve]does anyone listen to the Melvins, Jello's other band?[/QUOTE]

Melvins as their own band are quite good if you like 'stoner rock'. In related news, Jello and Melvins will be releasing a second album which is a first for a side project he replaces the lead singer for and the second side project he's released mutiple albums with (Lard being the other). Although he did put out an EP with Mojo Nixon before the full album....

I wouldn't say sound quality is poor, it is a live show so it's not going to be perfect, but I don't think it's a good showcasing of their live talent, I prefer their other live shows that are on bootlegs.

Jello is the man. He is one of my heroes. a legend. Dead Kennedys are an absolute favorite. If you dont like em...there is no hope for you. you are a terminal jackass.

Good job. Lots of words. words are good. haha.

OMFG! Hahaha.

I fu[I]c[/I]king love NoMeansNo. They are amazing. Still inferior to the Kennedy's in my opinion.

yeah, well. what DK have you heard?

Jello Biafra and the Melvins second album came out Friday I have just heard. Read the page on AT it sounds like a great album and includes a reworked cover of California Uber Alles, entitled Kalifornia Uber Alles sung by the governator himself. The album is called Sieg Howdy. Haven't found it on soulseek yet.

I just updated the profile a little bit and fixed some of my spellings that I should've mixed orginally.

I have just recently gotten into Dk and I love them...I am pissed I didn't get into them earlier.

The defence was that him eating so many Twinkies was proof that he was clinically depressed rather than the casue but it's still an idiotic defence.

i am the same
now i cant get enought of them quicky becoming my favorite band

ya at tompinks square on sunday where choking victim and team spider played brandon cruz made a public apology for dk. he played with them i think for 2 or 4 years he said he let he ego get to him and accepted the position as vocals for them in the most recent years and he quit becuase they wouldnt change the set list of make new song sjust put out rerelease after rerelease so he quit and said listen to what they say not what there doing now.

Once I had a lover. I knew her for-a-quite-a while. She seemed alright to me.

Hell, we all die in the end.

die in the end

The new Jello Biafra and Melvins album doesnt acutally come out until 09/27. For some reason AT is already selling some, maybe just preorders and its worded weird on the site. But anyway, it's an album to look forward to.

The closest they are playing here is Philly. I want to go, but none of my friends would come except one, but he is up in Vermont.

I asked this question in another thread but this is probably the one I should ask it in...Why did DK break up? I just recently got into them and therefore do not know a lot about their history. Is their any chance that they'll reunite? Just wondering and please don't hate me for being uninformed...

I think they'd just had enough of each other.

And there is no chance they'll reunite.
