 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. |
| So basically the understanding on these so-called reissues is that they were done behind my back, without my permission, and the band informed me that I would no longer be paid on them at all. |
| Let me start by saying, I'm utterly disgusted with the former members of the Dead Kennedys. |
| 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. |
| The last true punk band to get a major label contract was The Dickies. |
| 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. |

| For every prohibition you create you also create an underground. |
| They've gone to great length to disguise the fact that I'm not in the band, even sending out a photo to promoters with my picture in it which then winds up in some of the ads on the flyers. |
| If you love god, burn a church. |
| Don't hate the media, become the media. |

| When there's people on the other side of the room trying to wipe out your life and things are stacked against you, you can get nervous. |
| 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? |
| What they're not doing is marketing the Dead Kennedys in the spirit of what the band stood for. |
