	Splendid: Departments: LiveLine: Jello Biafra
		The Jello Biafra who took the stage on Tuesday night in Brooklyn is not the same angry waif who began stirring the shit with his 1979 run for mayor in San Francisco, nor the dervish who fronted for the Dead Kennedys for eight fruitful years in the '80s.
		Biafra appeared onstage in a fl trenchcoat and a beret, striving to look sinister in dark sunglasses, but far too amused with himself and his audience to project real menace.
		Biafra is vehemently opposed to a war in Iraq, suspicious of the Bush administration's motives and fearful of John Ashcroft.

	Jello Biafra
		Biafra is a primarily Christian country in Southeastern Nigeria which in 1967 declared independence from a corrupt group of Muslims who controlled the federal government.
		One of Jello Biafra's strongest weapons is his courage to go to the limits of the legal system to make a point.
		One man sent Jello a letter about his experiences at a drug war boot camp where the prisoners were forced to run ten miles carrying heavy logs and if they puked on the way, they were required to eat their vomit.

	Citizine - Jello Biafra Speaks (West Memphis 3, Death Penalty)
		Biafra concentrated on issues at stake in the case, and at first devoted his diatribe to what would be a primary target this eve: the death penalty.
		According to Biafra, despite the budget debacle that has forced the state to trim back on public services, Governor Gray Davis has not touched escalating funding for state prisons.
		Though Jello accused the Republicans of rigging the recall election set for October 7, he has no love lost for Governor Davis, given the Governor's pro-death penalty and pro-prison attitudes.

	Jello Biafra for President
		Looking back at the Jello campaign, with the advantage of historical hindsight, I can no longer comfortably support electoral politics, including any of Jello Biafra's political stunts, as this is an exercise in legitimizing an illegitimate system.
		Furthermore, investing hope in a leader, regardless of how apparently progressive the leader may be, only serves to dilute democracy and create the potential for unaccountable corruption and tyranny.
		In addition, without resorting to descriptive slander, I also have come to realize that the character of Jello Biafra is suspect.

		Biafra now realizes he is not a poet so much as an anti-pundit/commentator; breaking new ground in the increasingly important medium of info-tainment.
		Biafra¹s "Die for Oil, Sucker", a spoken word track with no music, is the largest-selling Alternative Tentacles single since Dead Kennedys.A third spoken word album, "I Blow Minds for a Living" is released that fall expanding on "Die for Oil...” and its aftermath.
		Biafra also includes an unusually personal track about how his angle on the world evolved ("Eric Meets the Moose Diarrhea Salesman"), and moves beyond the complaining stage with some serious and satirical solutions to the problems that he brings to light.

	JELLO BIAFRA
		Jello talks about The WTO meeting in Seattle, different election junk, the Columbine High School massacre backlash, the privacy pitfalls of the Internet, and even spends a lot of time discussing genetically altered food (frankenfood).
		Jello states his case with very informative stories, facts (according to him at least), statistics, and by sharing other notable experts’ opinions.
		I really do not think Jello is trying to brainwash or win anyone over to his side with his words, I believe he is just trying to get people to think about and take a second look at what surrounds us.

	Ex-Dead Kennedys vs Jello Biafra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Biafra claims that in the majority of instances he came to rehearsals with his lyrics in a state of near-completion and with tunes which he sang A CAPELLA, but the jury ruled against him, probably because he doesn't read music or play an instrument well.
		Biafra had read these letters, but also claims he had initially told Stott to "Just pay 'em." Of all the issues in question, this appears to have been Biafra's biggest mistake: going along with the delaying of the payment.
		The jury also found Biafra guilty of two "malice" charges as their foundation for awarding $20,000 punitive damages, based mainly on the fact that he admitted seeing all of Stott's letters before they were sent, thus granting tacit approval of them, regardless of whether he fully understood all their legal ramifications.

		Jello spent a lot of time listening to the audiences comments and even expounding upon them.
		About 1 in 8 rose their hand, and as Jello stated, if that stayed true there could be a new power in place, but voter apathy had led to the reign of King George II.
		This of course saw Jello show a little annoyance, not with the people at the event, but with the entire predicament he found himself in with the rest of the Dead Kennedys.

		Biafra, the vitamin poppin' newshound that he is, was present at street-level for all of these events.
		Earlier, he was knee-deep in the 2000 Election: Biafra was nominated as a Green Party presidential candidate (ultimately he endorsed Ralph Nader, of course, but not before developing a creative platform and drawing some attention to the plight of deathrow inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal by naming Mumia as his running mate).
		Biafra also shines a spotlight on the personalities involved on all sides of the protests and/or campaigns.

		During the early 1990s, Biafra continued his vigilant campaigns, highlighting the corporate predators and mercantile capitalist mechanisms that cause pandemic crime-poverty cycles, and the resulting inward-focused censorship and free-speech suppressions which are clothed in 'family values' or 'community standards' rhetoric.
		I cannot deny Jello's obvious and impressive vigilance, but why didn't he take the escalator to the next evolutionary level and be both a problem-spotter and a problem-solver." Good article as an antidote to the blind hero-worship that Biafra has to endure as certified guerilla punk-rock icon.
		Jello Biafra and Marilyn Manson offer their thoughts on the musician's right to play and the real roots of inner-city violence that rap music is blamed for.

		Biafra claims that their lawyers had told him only to correspond through lawyers and not directly with the band, as the conflict over payment had apparently arisen before the accounting mistake was discovered.

		Jello Biafra continues to be a noted critic of the American political establishment, embarking on lecture tours both before and after his time with the band.

		Because Jello Biafra is witty, intelligent, impassioned and informed.
		Biafra, however, takes a more optimistic tack and chooses to remind listeners of the power they still can, and do, wield.

	Jello Biafra : No More Cocoons - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The obscenity case fought over the Dead Kennedys' album Frankenchrist was a prolonged and bitter battle that Jello Biafra, the band, and the co-defendants eventually won, but the case was not without cost: Alternative Tentacles, which Biafra owned, was driven to the brink of bankruptcy by all of the legal bills involved with the case.
		On the remaining sides, Biafra explores a number of other political and civil rights issues, from the controversy over urinalysis to just what it was that Reagan didn't know while he was president.
		If you're aligned with Biafra's sensibilities, it's a fairly humorous listen, even this far down the road, but it does suffer a little too much from the preaching-to-the-converted syndrome -- if you lean toward the conservative in the least, you'll probably find it infuriatingly one-sided.

	Jello shots :: Political punk Jello Biafra takes verbal aim \| lawrence.com
		Biafra (born Eric Boucher, renaming himself after a Nigerian civil war that claimed more than a million lives, mostly women and children) is a master of mixing humor with a portentous political commentary seldom found in mainstream media.
		Biafra took the change in stride, initially by appearing on talk shows such as "Oprah" to discuss free speech opposite Tipper Gore, and eventually by releasing a dozen solo spoken-word albums.
		In talking with Biafra, it's clear he has at least some appreciation for Lawrence (he casually mentions The Love Garden and The Outhouse, for example), but he's decidedly short when asked to elaborate.

		By this time, controversy has vaulted Biafra's spoken word performances from coffeehouses to the college lecture circuit, where he is brought in to "lecture" on censorship.
		Biafra gives this mentality a name, "punk fundamentalism", pointing out how similar the born-again hardliners are to their cousins, the religious right.
		Included is an unusually more personal track on how Biafra and his angle on the world evolved ("Eric Meets the Moose Diarrhea Salesman") and he moves beyond the complaining stage with some serious and satirical solutions to the problems that he brings to light.

		Jello Biafra's third album of spoken word political invective is looser and funnier than the two that sprang up as a direct result of his mid-'80s obscenity trial.
		The first of Jello's post-Dead Kennedys collaborations was a barnburner; hooking up with Canada's legendary DOA ensured all the punk power that fans could want would be there in a big way.
