–Among many other things, Jello Biafra was the outspoken singer of the Dead Kennedys Click here to read bits from Jello’s biography from his label’s website. The events surrounding the raiding of his house are outlined under the 1986 entries.
Correction- Dylan was wrong about the record the H.R. Geiger poster was in. It wasn’t Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, it was Frankenchrist.

The alternate title of the Geiger piece is “Work 219: Landscape XX,” which is the mildly unsuspecting name that Dylan was thinking of. We wouldn’t be able to link you to it if Tipper Gore had her way, but fortunately the artists that endured lengthy legal battles against censorship won (kind of), so click here to read the Wikipedia page for “Penis Landscape” or Work 219: Landscape XX.”

–Bill was right! In 2002, there was a guy who planted 18 bombs in 5 states to make a smiley face. It appears as though the bombs were real and he assumed people would be injured when they detonated. What a jerk. Click here to read a forum discussion about the story.
