More quotes by Jello Biafra

Jello Biafra
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.
Jello Biafra
For every prohibition you create, you also create an underground.

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.
Jello Biafra
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.
