Jello Biafra comes to Somerville
Friday night, Jello Biafra, original lead singer for 70s/80s punk band The Dead Kennedys came to the Somerville Theatre to give a spoken word performance. Actually, outside of his "Stay In Your Homes" monologue, which was actually pretty funny, the rest of his performance was a talk on politics that went on for a few hours. Now, some of it was pretty interesting, like his discussion of his experiences visiting New Orleans, which still looks like it has been run through by a disaster just yesterday. Much of the rest is the sort of thing you've heard before if you've been obsessively reading political weblogs for the past couple of years.
Amusing moment: hearing him say that Gray Davis, whom he said was obsessed with money and power and himself, was "kind of like [former DK bandmate] East Bay Ray".
I do want to find out where I can get that shirt he was wearing, though:
