Dead Kennedys...

I wondered in to this forum because of Jonh Entwistle's death, and lo and hehold, a DK thread. Too cool.

Anyway, probably the punkest thing those guys could do would be cash a fat check from Dokkers. Isn't being punk all about sticking it to the man?

I can see the sell out nature of the conundrum, but money cooks, and I'm all for those guys getting some dough.

As much as I dig DK's, a friend of mine went out to Cali, hung with some of that crowd, and said Jello was someone everybody avoided at parties. Said he'd talk your ears off about crazy junk nobody cared about. Sad to hear. I'd still like to shake his hand.

Frankenchrist at age 13, never the same since. Thank you Dead Kennedy's.

Also related, watch the international war-torn miserable parts of the news, and more often than not you'll see a "DK" symbol spraypainted on the wall of a burned out building. That's cool.
