I saw Jello Biafra speak at Long Beach State back in the early 90's. I was a pretty big DK fan, but what a loon. His politics seemed to be a total mishmash. The romanticism of radical Marxism crossed with fierce libertarianism maybe? After an hour I couldn't figure out WHAT he was pushing for. To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School", "He REALLY seems to care, about what I have NO idea."
You'd think this guy'd be a devout capitalist. He's a small business owner who first rose to fame singing the song "Holiday in Cambodia" ("Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back/
For a bowl of rice a day").
He was defintiely an angry (as I find most lefties to be) guy and seemed to be trying to stir SOME kind of anger in the impressionable 18 year olds. However, most weren't buying and the room gradually emptied as he railed.

Jello is a weird guy. I too like the DK's music but honestly I couldn't care less about Jello as a person. The guy is a freak! :-)
