Jello Biafra - Has anyone heard him speak?

[Rob]

Although he isn't a commie, he's a great speaker, and has a lot of good points. Oh, and in case you don't know, he used to sing for the Dead Kennedys, but that's another story. You can get some parts of his speeches here

i've got his spoken word cd "no more cocoons" as mp3s...i could upload it somewhere if anyone has a fast ftp.

also i've bought another spoken word cd of his, but it's stuck in the US =/

he's really a good speaker, because he manages to entertain as well.

One of my particular favorites of Jello's is the keynote speech he gave at the H2K Hacker Convention a year or two ago. He also has some interesting views on various american politics. As Rob mentioned, he was the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys and has made various appaearances on leftist music albums since their breakup. The Dead Kennedys members sued him for "Lack of Promotion" because he refused to let them sell their song "Holiday In Cambodia" to Levis for use in a commercial, so he's pretty backed up on money as far as i know, but still continues to put out some great spoken word. He's currently compiling speeches from a local anarchist book fair into a book titled "Mob Action Against The State". Comes out in July of this year, some of you might want to pick it up.
