California Songs: Jello Biafra and "California Uber Alles"

Listen to RealMedia Stream

Jello Biafra, the outspoken former front man for the Bay Area band The Dead Kennedys, is known as much for his political rantings and spoken word performances as his hard-driving punk rock tunes. Biafra even ran for mayor of San Francisco in 1979. That same year, the group released their debut single, "California Uber Alles," in which Biafra launched a blistering attack on then-governor Jerry Brown. Over the years, "California Uber Alles" has been updated by Biafra and other artists to satirize different political leaders. Guest: Jello Biafra, former front man for The Dead Kennedys.
