One of the greatest punk bands ever is the Dead Kennedys. I was lucky enough to have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area to witness them live many times. I was able to meet Jello Biafra, hang out at the Fabulous Mabuhay Gardens, interview the band, even hosted Jello later as a Spoken Word artist. He was a brilliant artist, but an ass. No biggie, because he made some great music and had insightful stuff to say. He got a pass. Just like Trump said at one time, if you are a celebrity you can get away with everything. It's true, even with a minor celebrity like Eric. His band mates were a bit nicer, but more about them on a later post. This three volume pick will not feature anything by the DK's and also nothing from the spoken word section of Jello. Maybe I will do some of that later. This is only his solo stuff on his own, but mostly with other bands. There was no lack of offers, I am sure. Every One of these tracks features Jello on vocals.One of my favorites is The Witch Trials. Especially The Tazer.
