Let me start by saying, I'm utterly disgusted with the former members of the Dead Kennedys.

All of these reissues were not authorized by me, I do not endorse them, the live album was put out without my permission, and I've not seen a dime at this point, either.


Respecting other people's cultures is well and good, but I draw the line at where some branches of Islam, what they do to women. It's indefensible.

I did it a number of different ways and learned something from that session in that one way to do vocals - if you think you're done and there's one extra track, do the absolutely most obscenely bad version you can possibly come up with and some of it actually winds up being used.

I didn't really start writing music or lyrics or turning them into songs until I went to San Francisco.

I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters.

Well, I've had pieces of music in my head since I was a small child, some of which wound up as Dead Kennedys' songs.

You can spend the money on new housing for poor people and the homeless, or you can spend it on a football stadium or a golf course.

I definitely did a lot of stage diving before I even had a band, although I wouldn't call it diving because Mabuhay Garden stage is only about a foot and a half off the ground.
