I loved the Dead Kennedys in 7th grade. Then I discovered Pavement.
It’s a Holiday in Cambodia.
My favorite Dead Milkmen hit was “Cousin Earl”
Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
Cause I got AIDS
Love me two times baby,
once for tomorrow,
once cause I got AIDS
California Über Alles..
The Dead Kennedys were really against The Man, eh? Or maybe against The Mann (first name Michael) of global warming fame!
“...more punk than anyone else I have met in life.”
An entertaining “diary entry” from a 14 year old. Well written. And as long as those dots over her “i”s are dead flies - and not hearts - she still might be in the running for “most punk”.
And someone suggests the voting age at 16?
State Sen. John Vasconcellos (D) once proposed lowering the voting age to 14 in California.
You are more punk than anyone I’ve ever met in my life.

Dead Kennedys played numerous shows at local venues afterwards. Due to the provocative name of the band, they sometimes played under pseudonyms, including “The DK’s”, “The Sharks”, “The Creamsicles” and “The Pink Twinkies”. The band’s real name generated controversy. San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen wrote in November 1978, “Just when you think tastelessness has reached its nadir, along comes a punk rock group called The Dead Kennedys, which will play at Mabuhay Gardens on Nov. 22, the 15th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination.” Despite mounting protests, the owner of Mabuhay declared, “I can’t cancel them NOW—there’s a contract. Not, apparently, the kind of contract some people have in mind.”[2] However, 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”.
I saw them play in person but the gig ended with police and tear gas.
She has to tell the librarian she is 15 to check out the CDs, but then notes that “lying doesn’t count in the library”....LOL.
