01 January 1970

Jello Biafra at Foellinger Auditorium

This was 'just' a speaking engagement.  He had some good things to say, and wasn't nearly as eye-rolling as it could have been.  I wonder if I would have the same reaction now?

Before the show, Lisa and I were cutting through the Union, and we passed a guy walking the other way.  He was fairly loudly 'holding court' with a couple of toadies in tow.  After passing, I said something to the effect of calling him a loud-mouthed schnook to Lisa.  The schnook was on the other foot when we got to the speaking engagement and realized that guy was Mr. Biafra himself.


Note:  This show did NOT take place on January 1st, 1970.  It was probably a lot closer to sometime in 1990.  But I cannot find the actual date, so this is the place-holder.  If memory serves, in January 1970 I was busy moving to the house I would grow up in.  And also getting ready to turn 1 in March of that year...
