@@@@@@@@@@ Dead Kennedys on American Idol??? @@@@@@@@@
A short time ago East Bay Ray faxed Jello Biafra a proposal to sell the DK's version of "Viva
Las Vegas" to one of TV's all-time worst programs on TV's all-time worst network- "American
Idol" on Fox. Biafra strenuously objected, pointing out this was even worse and more against the
principles of the band than the proposed Levi's commercial the ex-DK's sued Biafra for. True to
form, he never heard back from Ray. Now we are getting vague e-mails claiming Ray went behind
Jello's back and did indeed sell DK's music and legacy to Fox for "American Idol."
Can anyone out there confirm this actually happened? Did anyone overcome their nausea long
enough to tape the show? Please let us know. Biafra hasn't heard from Ray and does not expect
to. Obviously this is the worst and stupidest thing to be done to Dead Kennedys yet in the name
of a quick dirty buck, but is this true??? We are interested in facts, not gossip and blogs.
If you have seen this or have confirmation of this happening, please e-mail Jesse at
