Jello Biafra Quotes

The Sonics I found later and that was pretty important Picture Quote #1

The last true punk band to get a major label contract was The Dickies Picture Quote #1

... balance the budget? Tax religion Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s too hippie to want to clean up the planet so you don’t wind up dying of some kind of cancer when you’re 45 years old. It enrages me that these big cancer-research organizations can’t be bothered to man the front lines of environmental protest Picture Quote #1

I enjoy getting people angry and getting underneath their skin, especially people who don’t think Picture Quote #1

I’m appalled at how many people my age, or even five or ten years younger, have no tangible memories of important history that happened when we were growing up Picture Quote #1

I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters Picture Quote #1

Heavy Metal is the most conservative of all loud music. Let’s face it, not even a gym teacher could get as many people to dress alike Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of being ruled by the Skull and Bones. The only place they belong are on punk-rock albums! Picture Quote #1

Jimi Hendrix once said, ‘You will never hear surf music again.’ Well, tonight, you will hear ‘serf’ music again -- S-E-R-F music Picture Quote #1

No matter what I do, my songs come out in a certain style, and if that sounds like Dead Kennedys, then there’s probably a reason for it. Don’t forget, I wrote most of those songs, music and lyrics Picture Quote #1

If I get even five per cent of my ideas out and documented before I die, I’ll be lucky. I’m not in danger of running out of riffs or ideas anytime soon. They overwhelm me and it’s hard to find time to deal with them Picture Quote #1

I have very mixed feelings about Jesse Jackson. He’s very good about labor, and human and civil rights issues, but not so good on cultural issues Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a big fan of subtle art. I like art that gets deep into my head and starts my brain spinning with new ideas and inspiration and my whole body is full of energy Picture Quote #1

Patriotism does not mean giving blind loyalty and a blank check to George W. Bush Picture Quote #1

Even the most Bush-happy, flag suckling jack-arse knows deep-down inside that something is wrong. America is over and everyone knows it. The New World Order has a dying empire odor and changing the channel ain’t going to make this go away Picture Quote #1

It depends on the situation. I mean, on one hand there’s the argument that people should be left alone on the other hand, there’s the argument to wade in a stop slaughters in places like Bosnia and Kosovo and what we probably should have done in Rwanda Picture Quote #1

Shut up, be happy. Obey all orders without question. The happiness you have demanded is now mandatory Picture Quote #1

What they’re not doing is marketing the Dead Kennedys in the spirit of what the band stood for Picture Quote #1

Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those - but it’s really important who’s mayor and who’s on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board Picture Quote #1

What I’m getting at is, you know, if we really want to get serious about helping all the people living in the street and getting people jobs, we could just hire half the people in the country to spy on the other half Picture Quote #1

I do fear for the generations of people who came of age thinking that pop-punk is what punk is, and that all the rebellion you need is just to stick your tongue out in the mirror every once in a while Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, there was so much pressure in the early San Francisco punk scene for everyone to be different than everyone else, to flaunt your intelligence and insights instead of every band sounding alike, like what plagues punk music in particular today Picture Quote #1

I went to Seattle as just another geek in the food chain, thinking, Well, in my own puny little way, I’d rather be a part of history than just sit and watch it on TV. So, the fact that so many people are starting to ask the right questions and rack their brains for solutions does give me hope Picture Quote #1

My parents didn’t hide reality. I watched cartoons and the news with equal fascination Picture Quote #1

I got involved because I wanted to help inspire more people to get off their butts and register and vote - not just in this election, but in every other election from now on, you know? Picture Quote #1

Method acting has had a major influence both in writing through the eyes of other people, and seeing through the eyes of other people, trying to address different ideas in a way that would go beyond preaching to the choir Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried Picture Quote #1

There’s sort of an open offer to work with a guy in Los Angeles who does big band and orchestra arrangements who was at least an acquaintance to Les Baxter before he passed away Picture Quote #1

I think there’s plenty of room, even in the most serious activist circles, for humor. Humor can be very effective both to inspire, and as a weapon. Just ask Frank Zappa and Charlie Chaplin Picture Quote #1
