Last week, I told you about Jello Biafra's  most recent dispute with his ex-bandmates in the Dead Kennedys. Jello  is peeved about the band's decision to license "Too Drunk To Fuck" for use  during a rape scene in the forthcoming film Grindhouse.
Biafra's  rant caused a bit of controversy amongst DK fans as well as SG subscribers and,  to be fair, both sides of the story warrant your attention. Here is the band's  response to Jello:
(Another year, another misleading public claim by the ever striving for  attention Jello Biafra. While we would have preferred not to jump back into the  fray, we felt it was warranted to make a public response due to Jello publicly  giving away key scene points and false information for a movie that Tarantino’s  fans are eagerly awaiting.
In his statement, he included the preteen  daughter of one of the other band members. His public comments show that he is  more interested in casting himself as a martyr rather than having any regard for  women's or children's rights. It also shows that he has no regard for the safety  of a child. As usual, it's all about Jello.
Contrary to Jello claiming  all the writing credit for himself, East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride and D.H.  Peligro also contributed to this song. Jello did not write “every note of that  song," that was proven in a court of law, when he was found guilty of fraud, and  strains credibility.
On a final note, JELLO is getting paid EXTREMELY  WELL, and we challenge him to put his money where his mouth is and donate his  share to a woman's cause, if he is truly concerned with the issue.) 
Jello may have thrown the gauntlet, but it was picked up and tossed back  with relative ease. I'm sure it won't be long before Biafra's rebuttal and both  sides resume the bickering we've come to expect over the years. Jello, the  ball's in your court

I love the DK, and Jello
I dont think Id agree with many of Jello's political viewpoints, but the DK are legends that cant be over looked.
Jello is awesome!
