Jello Biafra was interviewed by The Daily Beast about the recently announced candidacy of his longtime nemesis, Jerry Brown. Brown was the famous target the Dead Kennedys' famous "California Uber Alles" and Biafra looks back at that song as well as the legacy of Brown as well as the legacy of the song:

When Ronald Reagan won in 1980, I realized I kind of misfired. Sure, the Jerry Brown theory was something I came up with all by my little self, but it turned out to be wrong. [As for Jerry], his record as mayor is mixed at best. There was a lot of gentrification that went on, but who did it benefit? Plus he never stood up to the Oakland police, who are as corrupt and out of control as any rogue department in this country.
