[lbo-talk] DK brouhaha

[B.]

Jello has done some stuff that ain't so great to the
ex-Dead Kennedys members (he lost a court battle for
withholding reveues and was found not adequately
promoting the DK's back catalog, often a lifeline to
ex-bandmates' financial well-being) -- but in this
case I have to say I side with Jello. A DK's song
played during a rape scene in a movie ("Grindhouse")
made by the increasingly-loathsome & creepy Tarantino?
Yuck.

Even Entertainment Weekly has described the movie as
"Killer babes, blood, and body parts!" With an
attending, downright ditzy, video at:

that doesn't really bolster my confidence. 

Maybe next Discharge can lease out some songs to
scenes depicting neo-Nazis bashing ethnic minorities.

So, whatever his recent flaws, Jello seems to be in
the right on this one.
