Jello Biafra condemns Dead Kennedys

Jello Biafra has issued a public statement voicing his disapproval of his former band mates in the Dead Kennedys for licensing their classic track "Too Drunk to Fuck" for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino / Robert Rodriguez double feature, Grindhouse.

Biafra particularly objects to the songs placement in a rape scene:

The scene is actually in the "Planet Terror" film directed by Rodriguez. Tarantino himself is pointing a gun at a disabled amputee woman's head yelling "Dance, Bitch!" as the Nouvelle Vague cover of "Too Drunk to Fuck" plays from a boombox. The terrified woman later "wins" by killing Tarantino, but that excuse does not rescue this at all. I wrote every note of that song and this is not what it was meant for.

Some people will do anything for money. I can't help but think back to how prudish Klaus Flouride was when he objected to H.R. Giger's painting on the "Frankenchrist" poster, saying he couldn't bear to show it to his parents. I'd sure love to be a fly on the wall when he tries to explain putting a song in a rape scene for money to his teenage daughter (punknews.org).
