A photograph of the Dead Kennedys in Budapest gets a double dose of subversion. First, the fascist regime of the time twists the image for their propaganda. Then, a street artist reclaims the photo, offering a counter-narrative through their art.
Jello Biafra (nee Eric Boucher) head of Dead Kennedys rock band, visiting New York after obscenity trial (won by hung jury) over art illustrations to his "Frankenchrist" album. "Nazi Punks Fuck Off," "Too Drunk to Fuck," and "White Punks on Dope" were early underground hits late 1970's. He was on tour, lecturing on Reagan-era censorship moves, here "rebounding from the want-ads, surprised scrutinized by Candid surveillance camera," his briefcase open in small bedroom, pens clipped to strap, old backstage tour passes posted inside. Recovering from flu, late night tea, October 6, 1987.
Allen Ginsberg's hand annotated print of Jello Biafra from 1987. Jello stayed at Allen's when he visited New York.
Nessa foto super bacana vemos Renato Russo e o Jello Biafra vocalista do @dead__kennedys que estava no Brasil a convite do André Barcinski no lançamento do livro Barulho que acontecia na loja do Dado e do André X da Plebe a Rockit em 1992 * Quem aí se lembra da famosa história que ocorreu nesse dia sobre o estrelismo do Jello Biafra por aqui que queria um banho de Jakusi e alguém lembrou que o Renato tinha uma ... #RenatoRusso #LegiãoUrbana #JelloBiafra #DeadKennedys #Rockit #TheJetsons https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEJPwCLnvM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GET YOUR DAILY DOSE OF THE SUPER-SEVENTIES RIGHT HERE -- AMERICAN PUNK ROCK BRANCH.
NOTE: Happy posthumous birthday to Darby Crash on this day, born September 26, 1958 -- another legend lost. HAIL! 🎂🕯🎤💢
PIC INFO: Spotlight on American punk rock vocalists/songwriters/scene-makers Jello Biafra (DEAD KENNEDYS), Darby Crash (THE GERMS), and Hellin Killer (of L.A. punk girl gang THE PLUNGERS), somewhere in L.A., c. late '70s. 📸: ❓ Jenny Lens?
Can't find much background info behind this shot, and I could be totally wrong about this pic being taken somewhere in L.A. Does anyone know if Darby Crash & co. ever made it up to SF for some gigs?
