Punk Conscience
LEGENDARY punk rockers the Dead Kennedys are alive and fighting. Last
week, frontman Jello Biafra blasted former bandmates East Bay Ray,
Klaus Flouride and D.H. Peligro for licensing their song “Too Drunk
to [Bleep]” to play during a rape scene in Quentin Tarantino and
Robert Rodriguez’s new “Grindhouse.” Biafra fumed, “Some people will
do anything for money . . . I’d sure love to be a fly on the wall
when [Flouride] tries to explain to his teenage daughter putting a
song in a rape scene for money.” Yesterday, the rest of the group hit
back, telling punknews.org: “Jello is getting paid extremely well and
we challenge him to put his money where his mouth is and donate his
share to a woman’s cause, if he is truly concerned with the issue.”
