I think Noam Chomsky is a national treasure - make that an international treasure.

My parents didn't hide realit...

My parents didn't hide reality. I watched cartoons and the news with equal fascination.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

No matter what I do, my songs...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

It depends on the situation. ...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I got involved because I want...

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?

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I do fear for the generations...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

They've gone to great length ...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

If I go without rock for too ...

If I go without rock for too long, I feel depressed.

The Sonics I found later and ...

The Sonics I found later and that was pretty important.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

Especially in local elections...

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.

This is my home. Home is where the disease is. As long as I stay in America, I'll never run out of subjects for songs.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I think one of the most impor...

I think one of the most important things punk brought back was the whole concept of staying independent and doing things yourself. It made music a lot less boring in any category you can name.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

That's the way both they and ...

That's the way both they and I travel sometimes. Pick road at random, and when it's time to pull over, you pull over and hope you can find a place to crash.

Once you get involved with bloodsport litigation, you can not only get drunk on your own greed but start to believe your own lies.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

If I get even five per cent o...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I'm totally down with insurrection in the street. I've had a great time with that over the years. Insurrection in the voting booth is the other part of the equation.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

You can spend the money on ne...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I don't think it's too hippie...

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.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

I never expected the movement...

I never expected the movement against globalization and corporate rule to mushroom as quickly as it has, either. And right now the strongest electoral arm of that movement is the Green Party. I try to stress to people cynical about voting that the Greens are the most effective electoral arm of the so-called Spirit of Seattle, and it's great fun to cause trouble in the streets, but that's not going to accomplish much without insurrection in the voting booth at the same time.

Jello Biafra 127 quotes

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.
