Jello 2012

[Mentalplix]

I wish the peanut gallery would shut up and let the man talk! They keep interrupting him and what he's saying is really smart.

[casestudyification]

Uh.....as for being fat, it happens to some of us. Cut out the stupid insults. It can quite possibly be you someday, and you'll regret ever insulting those fat people. I used to do it when I was skinny.........

[Skierguyca]

Looks like the revolution has been good for Jello's fat ass. Guess it's only the rest of the DK's living off soup now.

[uiruu]

Damn... if I didn't know Jello previously, and had only saw the video without knowing Jello, I would never EVER have guessed he was a punk rock legend.

[misspunkaffair]

i dont understand all the laughing..what idiots..

[jasoninthejungle]

Jello need to lay off the big macs

hes turing into a fat fuck

[soothingrash]

Wow he still has that belt buckle.

[jimjimtrains]

@soothingrash I've touched tghat belt buckle!!! I know you commented on this 11 months ago but just have to say!

Biafra 2012

[furament]

political enlightenment from a what is he 50 now surley well fed maby missed a meal but not on hunger strike looses its relivance dosent it? eat bud lots of fiber all natural good for cows cows are tastey right? i dunno jello was my hero but today? words is words k ;)

[heyjunky]

i've seen him a couple times, always very informative, inspiring and entertaining. i love his connection with the crowd. it can be seen nicely here.

[cozzee]

Gah, I hate the audience on these things.

Just shouting shit, like when he's making a retoric question on who was on camera shaking hand with Saddam.

Every tard has to yell Rumsfeld like if they're gonna win a million bucks for the right answer.

[AIKevorkian]

If USA even THINKS about attacking Iran, there will be SERIOUS consequences! USA out of Israel NOW! And, I do not hate Jews, but I just have a problem with the State of Israel.

[alder321]

@AIKevorkian

yes! the people often mix up jews with the israeli regime and their inhuman politics.

everyone should ask himself if HE wants to be seen equal to the behaviour of HIS government.

[castingtherunes]

I just wish that someone would stop defending or making excuses for the Muslim scum on our planet. Christianity is such an easy target, when it's Islam that's full of retarded murderers.

[furament]

and "cristianity isent full of retards"? when it gets down to it weer all fuked K black wight jew prasticiking or not bring on the flood!!!!!!

[lordhighexecutioner]

So Biafra really is in the Anarchism - Anarcho-Syndicalist camp though this does not mean he advocates dismantling government, like the Communists of yore, he is into building this ideal slowly and as the Communists had envisaged, there would in time be the "withering of the state"... for the here and now he exhibits a common purpose with Libertarians when it comes to individual personal freedoms and freedom from censorship, from enforced religion and from a police state in general.

[lordhighexecutioner]

Jello Biafra once said that Anarchism would take decades to build because the first step is the mind of the average American... they are under the spell of a corporate-dominated system. Biafra was talking at one point about the California power crisis and said that it was the publicly-owned power company-served areas that were free of the crisis whilst the privatised areas got hit... he has openly denounced privatisations... Again, Libertarians think that everything sould be privatised.

[lordhighexecutioner]

Libertarianism has come to mean something specific - it's the Small to Non-Existent Government with Giant Corporations system... combined with this belief that the completely free market system will successfully police the giant corporations. Most Ayn Rand-influenced people are not Objectivists - Objectivism is her cult, there are large numbers of people, many who call themselves Libertarians, who are strongly influenced by Rand. Ron Paul, for one, and the Cato Institute, have taken up Rand.

[lordhighexecutioner]

He is not libertarian and does not endorse Ayn Rand. He opposes large corporations and government policies to police personal lives. He criticises the big government - big business nexus where the former works for the latter, and condition people to serve big business. He supports community-mindedness and opposes the "me generation" mentality, so that disqualifies him as a libertarian. He is for small business, cooperatives and effective government under control of a participating public.

[Brxa]

no he is libertarian, its just that libertarianism is such a loose term. I suppose he would be on the anarchism side of libertarianism, while Ayn Rand concepts would be objectivism.

[moediggity28]

@Brxa no hes a green liberal

an actual one

hes not a libertarian because he hates the libertarian views of the tea party and doesnt agree with all of ronpauls views on every thing

hes a former green candidate for the presidency

[BucksStudent]

@lordhighexecutioner He supports some libertarian candidates, like Ralph Nader. There are many different types of Libertarian, and I'd say Jello is his own kind.

[laywitasnake9]

jello been doin it longer i have all the spoken word albums and it seems like rollins just copys it ands a little twist to it but its almost verbatim

[Grungebaby92]

i think the Libertarian comment is closer to the truth, Rollins seems to be similar as well, as does Keith Morris

[SwedxSimon02]

Rollins has spoken against right-wing financial policies as well as Jello, he even supported Obama (to a lot of ''non-mainstream'' a lot of political hipsters disappointment).

[emmineffin]

His attacks on liberals have been among his most virulent, i.e. Holiday in Cambodia and his diatribes against the mostly Democratic PMRC. To me he always seemed to be closer to a libertarian than a liberal.

[SwedxSimon02]

Jello has specifically spoken against free market policies, he's not libertarian, though libertarianism is the new K@@L ideology for teens now, so a lot of people want to classify old punk rockers within the label.

[twinkieramirez]

Vote for Jello!

[Snotra]

To bad this guy turned into a liberal...sigh!

[StallingsFilm]

Turned INTO?

Ummm...who have you been listening to for all these years?

He's ALWAYS been a liberal

[Poltergeist454]

..........DK..............

[hudsonia]

this guy is so amazing that i hope he´ll we be a president of us...in some day.....

[kingkongpingpongdong]

That is exactly what HE DOES NOT stand for though!

He stands for EVERYBODY to be Governed by NO MAN. FREEDOM FOR ALL! ...As it should be!

Keep listening to more of his spoken words that are uploaded here on YT. You'll see! :)

[acebackwords]

To me he looks just like Archie Bunker. Or a backwoods Southern cop.

[dpapaioannow]

if Jello was U.S. president the world would've been a better place...but i dont think the man has suicidal tendencies hehe..i would've give him like...2minutes?heavily?...may­be?ooohh and that's what happens when we get older people..more or less..we lose hair and get a little fater..big deal

[demonfelix]

Get a brain you dope

[dpapaioannow]

who the fuck are you?you stupid old gizzer you?tell you what..next time try puting your head in the toilet when you flush too

[AIKevorkian]

My God. He's starting to look like a cross between William Shatner and my old Drafting teacher is High School! I hope I don't look like him when I'm in my 50s! BTW, my favourite comment was "...issuing in 35 years of Reagan." That's a good one, and true, too!

[BudTheChud]

Oh lordy, I' thought I was the first to spot the William Shatner likeness.

[malscott]

well, i guess, like william shatner, jello has sure gotten fat hasnt he.?

[1234jackal]

Part 2:

He clearly doesnt have a clue what the reality of the situation is there and how the military actually works. Its great when people speak out against violence but to outright lie and exaggerate the facts is as bad as what the administration did lying to the public about the war. This is where Jello loses all credibility and makes him look like a propogandist. Great speak out about injustices in the world ...but do it honestly

[1234jackal]

Party 1 of post

Im a huge DK fan and even enjoy his spoken word, but Jello is infamous incredibly over exaggerating facts to suit his arguement. I cant get past the first 35 seconds of this video. "80% of the military is either pinned down...or recovering"...80%? this is where his exaggerated ideology loses me. US military strength in '06 was 1.5 million excluding reserves. troops in iraq=250k afg.=32k

[rudigerf]

Come on, there's more important things to comment on that the size of Jello's waist. I guess it's a change from "is he gay or what?". If that's what you're interested in then go watch E! news.

[ClarenceFisher]

Jello is too good to be spotlighted on E! News

[psychoman420]

LOL, he let himself go. Still a good speaker though.

[Elliotk420]

...hear those morons in the audience...heckling a man who, if he doesn't want to, doesn't have to make the trip to the "mistake by the lake" known as Cleveland...someone who's artistry spans from the Dead Kennedys, Lard, collaborations w/ The Melvins and Mojo Nixon and his incredible spoken word performances...(sigh) point is, after 31 years of that I'm SO glad I moved to California. Not to mention the pot's better. I mean, they never even heald inductions for the rock hall there until now!

[theadict2]

i love how kids yell out american tragedys and terrible moments in time. like its the

" HIP PUNK ROCK family feud"

[911cantsaveyou]

Hahaha. He still has the belt buckle.

Thats sweet

[theadict2]

looks like that belt needs a time out and a vacations week off pay.

[911cantsaveyou]

Hahaha. Yeah really.

[finalnexus]

the audio quality is poor and unnacceptable here....

[wsforestry]

tubby little fucker nowadays!

[blakmira]

Jello, Jello, Jello, you were so cute in the 90s when I knew you. Still a brilliant mind. Wonder if he supports Ron Paul???

[Nederlandac]

What he supports Ron Paul???????

[blakmira]

of course he supports Ron Paul -- anti-war, anti-Patriot Act, anti-drug war, pro-civil liberties, pro-Constitution! What, you think he would support Obomba who voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act and wants to invade Pakistan? hahahahahaha

[satanicgrower]

if Bill Hicks were alive he would die if he saw how fat jello got. Notice how these cleveland assholes cannot stop talking while jello speaks? Do they assume that I paid to hear their boring retorts? Its the same at every show you go to there. Got into a fistfight with a girl at a fantomas show there. fucking heathens

[bedlambikes]

We're now in the longest stretch of NO terror attacks in the USA in 68 YEARS.

What does Jello have to say about that?

[disnywhite1]

Nothing.Anything that conflicts w/ HIS agenda gets short shrift.I take that back, it gets no mention at all.

[johnbourbon]

jello is a fat middle aged white guy.

[Giveadont]

And water is wet?

[johnbourbon]

and so are sweaty middle aged fat guys.

[Giveadont]

Do you have a fetish of sorts?

[johnbourbon]

i have a fetish of shorts.

[ResidentMich]

And people wondered what Bill Hicks would have been like had he continued.......what a gig THAT would have been!!!

[112364exp]

Jello has a belly. So fucking what!! Listen up asshole. Wake up asshole. I bet your the kind of idiot who CARES who got kicked of idol.Turn your T.V. back on ya fuck'n numb.

Stay asleep

[JBFilmProductions]

Jello Biafra is brilliant. He is very fat now, but, knowing he's "NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF" as well as this political figure, I still hold him high in regards.

[evildee1978]

The star buckle is the same but not the belt size, lol. But I still love him, just wish he would get back with the Kennedys and do his rants with music behind them.

[mahavishnu009]

I went and saw him a while agon in Kentucky. He was brillaint!!! And funny, he said "Don't mess with Texas" about 30 times that night.

[armyxxxkid]

damn jello put on some weight i cant believe he still has that star belt buckle from back in the day with the dead kennedys

[numbchucking]

Everyone would rather judge him on his size/age rather than listen, makes me wonder why they clicked on this link in the first place.

I respect and admire what Jello has accomplished very much. And if you can't step outside of your ego and realize that it's just a person rather than a celebrity yea might see it under a new light.

"so you've been to school for a year or two and you know you've seen it all, in daddy's car thinking you'll go far back east your type don't crawl.."

[nicoloco01]

its stupid idiotic corporate robots like this douchebag that would only vote for a candidate who looks like a magazine model ur just a brainwashed drone of the media

fuck off !!!!!!!

[numbchucking]

no-one held a gun to your head to see this.

And corporate...?! you have no idea who Jello Biafra is if you think that.

why would you click on this,..if,..ah I give up. Who gave you a computer...you shouldn't be using a keyboard and a computer and typing things.

[nicoloco01]

my man i wasnt referring to jello in those comments i voted for jello for mayor back in 79 his ideals are unbelievable just what our country needs

i was talking to some douchebag talking shit about him cause he s fat

[emanz666]

u will all get fat .a. know the truth

[Giveadont]

Well, I don't know what "Iranians" you think you're talking about but, when we tried to pull them in on our "War on Terror" they told us to go fuck ourselves (mainly because of our certain history of fucking them over and over again, as Jello mentions some of which in this video). I mean, go ahead -if you can pull statements from anywhere between 10 to 100 people born native to Iran that say they have no problem with the US's invasions in the middle-east- be my guest.

[nightowl4064]

jello finally looks like jello!

[MKJS006]

Jello for Pres, hell with Mayor, hell with Jesus..I believe he has ideas.

[Thebeefypig]

lol i love it jello HATES phones

[dtgfh]

ok that guy who keeps adding his own ideas is annoying like come on just let him speak

[notabroham]

does it matter if he is old/fat?  no. he is still talking about FACTS.

[emoaintpunk]

I agree there. To many people look to far into the material image and not the substance of what someone is saying.

[duhvarth]

twinkies are the best friend i've ever haaaad...

[Nekraknowsis]

You guys are whining about his weight? The man is going to be 50 this year. Who knows what kind of cruel glandular jokes his body is playing on him. Besides, the voice is the same, the wit is the same, and the timing is the same.

[acebackwords]

Geez, am I the only one that thinks Jello Biafra has turned into the spitting image of Carol O'Connor as Archie Bunker?

[makeinstall]

This is called spoken word?

Sounds like political BS and whining to me.

Henry Rollins now he does spoken word.

Give me a speaker that I can listen to that doesn't sound like a fat man with a lisp and a topic that is interesting.

Jello please retire and shut the fuck up.

[Giveadont]

Well, this isn't the best of his works- and one's got to feel his frustration. He's been making much of the same points and predictions for the past 20 years and it only seems like things are getting worse. Not to say his points are out-of-date or repetitive, no they're just as relevant as they've ever been. You just got to understand that if he took himself too seriously he'd probably go angry-insane.

[micks222]

does his weight matter or what he is saying?

[kc7fys]

Well, it's hard to criticize ourselves when we are the embodiment of the excess we are trying to decry. So, yes his weight matters. It's evidence of who he is even more that what he SAYS he is. Lose weight, Jello. Everybody else has to do it too.

[micks222]

what so you have to be thin to be able to express an opinion. the issues he talks about desperately need to be raised, but he can't because he is carrying a bit of pud. come on!

[kc7fys]

That's a false dichotomy, not what I suggested. I was simply saying the guy got chubby. No more no less. He can talk until he's wheeled in on a flab wagon. It does affect how he's perceived.

[elsoda]

he is old and fat..but still CUTE AS HELL...i love you jello

[bluescommander]

God, he looks so old.

[CzirDzir]

how dose one get so fucking fat?

[pmamae1]

Wow! I haven't paid attention to Jello since 1990. He's fatter than John Lydon! Awsome!

[Wahoofuck]

jello kicks ass

[grandedamned]

and he's really a national treasure like Micheal Moore (not a pinup model.. tho I think he's still cute!) Especially in this time we need Jello & Micheal Moore. They were some of precious few people to break the post-911 silence and criticize Bush's agenda. He can be wrong sometimes, but he's brilliant

[AYDEEZY]

fuck micael moore hes just one of bushs puppets, and jello is fuckin metrosexual but he still fuckin bad ass

[xDobermannx]

How is micheal moore Bush's Puppet?? WTF, Fuck Micheal Moore and Jello. FAT FUX

[DiamondBollox]

Don't even try to compare Biafra to Moore.

[bluescommander]

Michael Moore is a propagandistic douche. Jello is a badass.

[Giveadont]

Yeah, Michael Moore has made some good points but, for the most part I feel like I hear his name more than his words. Jello seems to get the message out there to more people... and clearer, too. I always feel like if I'm talking to a Biafra-Spoken-Word-Fan they're much more intelligent and much less belligerent than those in Moore's audience or, at least, in my experiences that's been the case.

[grandedamned]

hey now! not nice..but kinda funny.

[daloamta]

ya old age happens tho lol....... an it hit him pretty good but hes still his old self

[comedyskatemusic]

wow, jello was really scrawny in the 80s, look at him now, and hes really funny and seems like more of a comedian, cool! although, i did love dead kennedys and their music sucks now, jello bailed out right in time, nice jello, but you still lokk nothing like 20 years ago, still, jello, you are awesome.

[youthBYTES]

how does their music suck now? hahaha, they refused to write any new stuff without jello, yes i know that from personally hearing brandon cruz say so...

[Giveadont]

Refusing to write new material = they suck now, I guess.

[Deathby]

the only war Jello needs to worry about is the battle of the bulge.

[ggchi]

good one!

[snarebreaker]

jello would u please run for president.

[zer0signal0]

Did already

[lcwell]

Does Jello only own ONE belt? He's been wearing that STAR buckle since his Dead Kennedy days!

[lllllDIElllll]

The kennedys didnt break up.....JELLO ATE EM!!!!!!!

[bckm54]

Hehehehe, DIE,  that was BRILLIANT!!! :)

[calebbearden]

lmao LET'S GO TO IRAN!

[BMayhew60]

Do you have children in the military? Are you in the military? I'll bet you don't pay attention to how far we are stretched already! Yeah, let's go to Iran!!! Yee-hah... If you are special forces, maybe you can go it alone...have at it...the rest of us, or most, don't want that...dipshit...

[calebbearden]

uhh dude i was joking. listen closely to the very begining somebody yells "let's go to iran"

[BMayhew60]

Thanks and sorry, maybe I should have realized that...peace....

[EstoKrista]

My neck hurt from looking up the entire time, but it was worth the stiff neck!

I was hoping that guy who yelled, "RIDE A BIKE!" would be on here. And he was! Ahhh, memories...

[ioport]

Fat litigious fuck. What a windbag. To think I used to idolize this guy as a teenager.

[bugsycline]

jello 2008

[punksk8er88]

holy shit jello got fat!

[beowulven]

Fuck off.

[bojengels1]

Remember he's not 20 anymore, he's more like pushing 50.

[rcmadness247]

he is right. it is time we stand up and fight

[Chlarkville]

the thinking girls hot sexy man of 07. I was there standing room only. stood for 4 hours + absolutely entrancing!!

[crustychi]

i missed him too Such a shame. i was looking forward to seeing him so much

[LemonCurryProduction]

I can't believe I missed him when he came... thanks for posting these!

[cbmusic]

Thanks for posting this.
