Ummmm... congratulations? Sorry, but you made it sound like Jello Biafra absolutely hated rap like so many of the ignorant rock elitists do. I didn't want that confusion to happen. I'm sure, you being a fan of the Dead Kennedies can understand, coming from someone who is a fan of both the Dead Kennedies and good rap.

Don't even *try* to mess with my knowledge of Jello Biafra.

Bragging about your knowledge? Very un-Biafra of you, if you will. :p

How so? I said he doesn't have a thing to do with rap, and he doesn't. He's never recorded any rap songs. The vast majority of the people in the rap community wouldn't know who he is. He's made postive comments on the genre, ones that I would agree with, but it's not like he's been particularly outspoken about it. He just doesn't have anything to do with rap, in terms of what his area of expertise is.

Hence the smiley. Of course, he'd probably call me a tool in any case. I'm comfortable with that.

Well, I see the comment meant different but saying "Jello Biafra has nothing to do with rap," can easily be translated to "Jello Biafra would have nothing to do with rap" something with a much more negative tone.

And Biafra would call anyone a tool, including himself, eh?

OK, I understand that. I assure that wasn't how it was intended.

And yeah, he probably would. I tried to get him to come speak at my school once, but the group I was working for didn't have the cash to pay for it. Being in Wisconsin didn't help.
