Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine - The Cells that Will Not Die

Filmed at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD on March 28, 2010. Backed by The Guantanamo School of Medicine (Ralph Spight, Kimo Ball, Ron Nichols, and Jon Weiss) Biafra sings a song based on "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," by Rebecca Skloot. It's the story of the woman with "immortal" cells, whose tissue sample spawned what is known as the HeLa cell line, which has been reproducing since 1951.

Now in his 50's, former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra remains one of the most compelling singers to grace the live rock stage.
