Original song and a french sexy cover
Un grand merci to Snapaholics friends, MaryKeng, Polly Reina, Jala, Ines and Busta, for pizzas and burgers ;)
I'm posting two photos today and none tomorrow...because it's Jello Biafra's birthday and I feel bad enough missing his recent Chicago set but I was at Low...
Jello's a legend and still has a great stage presence complete with fake blood and a ton of political rants that I always happen to agree with.

The crowded future stings my eyes
I still find time to exercise
In uniform with two white stripes
Unlock my section of the sand
It's fenced off to the water's edge
I clamp a gas mask on my head
On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
Another tanker's hit the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
The sand is laced with sticky glops
Oh, shimmering moonlight sheen upon
The waves and water clogged with oil
White gases steam up from the soil
On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
I squish dead fish between my toes
Try not to step on any bones
I turn around and I go home
I slip back through my basement door
Switch off all that I own below
Dive in my scalding wooden tub
My own beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
'Ight
'Ight
There will always be a moon over Marin
There, wasn't that a nice visit?
Don't forget, a psychiatrist is on duty twenty-four hours a day in the blue room
Just up from the parking garage
Drink plenty of water when you take these
Now you can relax
And return to your job!

"Rioting, the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it's all
Gonna blow right now
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds, watch them kicking peoples' ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slave-drivers live
It's walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighborhood
Burning to the ground instead "
Dead Kennedys

The American punk rock band Dead Kennedys was formed in San Francisco, in 1978. The band was one of the defining hardcore punk bands during its initial eight-year run.
The Dead Kennedys was formed in June 1978 in San Francisco, California, when East Bay Ray (Raymond Pepperell) advertised for bandmates in the newspaper The Recycler, after seeing a ska-punk show at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco. The original band lineup consisted of Jello Biafra (Eric Reed Boucher) on vocals, East Bay Ray on guitar, Klaus Flouride (Geoffrey Lyall) on bass, 6025 (Carlos Cadona) on rhythm guitar and Ted (Bruce Slesinger) on drums and percussion. This lineup recorded their first demos. Their first live show was on 19 July 1978 at Mabuhay Gardens. Dead Kennedys' lyrics were usually political in nature, satirising establishment political figures (liberal and conservative) and authority in general, as well as popular culture and even the punk movement itself. The band's name generated controversy. Despite popular belief, the name was not meant to insult the Kennedy family, but according to Biafra, "to bring attention to the end of the American Dream". 6025 left the band in March 1979 under somewhat unclear circumstances, generally considered to be musical differences. In June, the band released their first single, "California Über Alles", on Biafra and East Bay Ray's independent label, Alternative Tentacles. In early 1980, they recorded and released the single 'Holiday in Cambodia'. In June, the band recorded their debut album, 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables', released in September of that year on the UK label Cherry Red. The album reached number 33 on the UK Albums Chart. In March 1980, Dead Kennedys were invited to perform at the Bay Area Music Awards in an effort to give the event some "new wave credibility", in the words of the organisers. The day of the performance was spent practicing the song they were asked to play, the underground hit "". The band became the talking point of the ceremony when after about 15 seconds into the song 'California Über Alles', Biafra stopped the band—in a manner reminiscent of Elvis Costello's Saturday Night Live appearance—and said, "Hold it! We've gotta prove that we're adults now. We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band." The band, all wearing white shirts with a big, black S painted on the front, pulled black ties from around the backs of their necks to form a dollar sign, then started playing a new song titled 'Pull My Strings', a barbed, satirical attack on the ethics of the mainstream music industry, which contained the lyrics, "Is my cock big enough, is my brain small enough, for you to make me a star?".
During its initial incarnation between 1978 and 1986, The Dead Kennedys attracted considerable controversy for their provocative lyrics and artwork. Several stores refused to stock their recordings, provoking debate about censorship in rock music. In January 1981, Ted announced that he wanted to leave the band to pursue a career in architecture. He played his last concert in February 1981. His replacement was D.H. Peligro (Darren Henley). Around the same time, East Bay Ray had tried to pressure the rest of the band to sign to the major record label Polydor Records. Biafra stated that he was prepared to leave the group if the rest of the band wanted to sign to the label. Polydor decided not to sign the band after they learned that Dead Kennedys' next single was to be entitled 'Too Drunk to Fuck'. After Peligro joined the band, the extended play In God We Trust, Inc. (1981) saw them move toward a more aggressive hardcore/thrash sound. In addition to the EP's controversial artwork depicting a gold Christ figure on a cross of dollar bills, the lyrics contained Biafra's most biting social and political commentary yet, and songs such as 'Moral Majority', 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off!' and 'We've Got a Bigger Problem Now' placed Dead Kennedys as the spokesmen of social protest, while 'Dog Bite', a cover version of 'Rawhide' and various joke introductions showed a more whimsical side. In 1982, they released their second studio album, 'Plastic Surgery Disasters'. The album's cover features a withered starving African child's hand being held and dwarfed by a white man's hand, a picture that had won the World Press Photo award in 1980, taken in Karamoja district in Uganda by Mike Wells. The band's music had evolved considerably in a short time, moving away from hardcore formulae toward a more innovative jazz-informed style, featuring musicianship and dynamics far beyond other bands in the genre (thus effectively removing the music from that genre). The release of the album Frankenchrist in 1985 showed the band had grown in musical proficiency and lyrical maturity. While there were still a number of loud/fast songs, much of the music featured an eclectic mix of instruments including trumpets and synthesizers. In the mid-1980s, vocalist and primary lyricist Jello Biafra became an active campaigner against the Parents Music Resource Center. This culminated in an obscenity trial between 1985 and 1986, which resulted in a hung jury. In addition to the obscenity lawsuit, the band became increasingly disillusioned with the underground scene as well. The hardcore scene, which had been a haven for free-thinking intellectuals and downtrodden nonconformists, was attracting a more violent audience that imposed an increasing level of brutality on other concertgoers and began to alienate many of the bands and individuals who had helped pioneer the movement in the early 1980s. Dead Kennedys released their final album, Bedtime for Democracy, in November 1986. The band had released a total of four studio albums and one EP before disbanding in December 986. Following the band's dissolution, Biafra continued to collaborate and record with other artists including D.O.A., NoMeansNo and his own bands Lard and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, as well as releasing several spoken word performances. In 2000 (upheld on appeal in 2003), Biafra lost an acrimonious legal case initiated by his former Dead Kennedys band mates over songwriting credits and unpaid royalties. In 2001, the band reformed without Biafra. Various singers have since been recruited for vocal duties.

EXPLORED! My favorite one ( besides the Dead Kennedys one ) is the orange Circle Jerks flyer at the top. I went to see the Replacements and ended up hanging out with their extremely drunk guitarist Bob Stinson. As I was going to see the Circle Jerks the next week he signed a flyer for me AND one to give to Keith, which I forgot to do. I lost mine, Keith never got his, and Bob Stinson died 2 years later or so. All of these shows were in Detroit. I wasn't trying to play favorites, but there's TWO Black Flag one's here ( the top left and bottom right ). One of my pictures that has made it into Explore.
