All expenses for the event are paid for by the stock exchange, including the tab for drinks and live music, featuring rapper Sean "P Diddy" Combs and Jackson's daughter, singer Santita Jackson. But sources say Jackson has angered some executives on Wall Street with his comments about the U.S. government's response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "Members of the New York Stock Exchange are appalled and can't understand why [Exchange Chairman] Dick Grasso is kowtowing to someone they view as anti-American," said the Wall Street banker. Jackson has decried the U.S. bombing campaign in Afghanistan and called Attorney General John Ashcroft a terrorist "suspect [because] he threatens democracy." http://www.indymedia.org:8081/front.php3?article_id=117230 http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200201/POL20020111e.html http://www.cnsnews.com >JELLO BIAFRA WARNS OF BAIT-AND-SWITCH TACTICS >IN FAKE DEAD KENNEDYS TOUR > >Due to the high volume of complaints coming our way, Jello Biafra >again warns of bait-and-switch tactics in his former bandmates use of >the name Dead Kennedys for their current tour. Both Biafra and his >label, Alternative Tentacles Records, have received numerous >inquiries from promoters, press, and angry fans on the fraudulent >nature of the tour. > >The booking agency which represents Biafra's former bandmates is >reportedly selling the band as Dead Kennedys, asking $10,000 >guarantees, and "forgetting" to tell promoters that Biafra is not in >the band, unless specifically questioned. The band photo that the >agency has circulated features Jello Biafra instead of the scab >singer Brandon Cruz. Most of the tour dates have been sold to the >public as "Dead Kennedys", with at least one advertisement featuring >the photo which contains Biafra. Another tactic reported is that >venues such as the Gothic Theater in Denver (and their sponsor, Twist >& Shout) start out advertising the show as Dead Kennedys then >downgrade the ads to "DK Kennedys", with members listed, two or more >weeks after tickets have gone on sale. > >Jello Biafra states, "In my opinion, this is the real great rock and >roll swindle. They have a right to play cover versions of Dead >Kennedys songs. Everyone does. But I feel really badly for all the >people paying ticket prices, reported to be as high as $25, thinking >it's the real Dead Kennedys, and wind up getting stuck with the >world's greediest karaoke band." > >Reports of the overpriced performances have not been altogether >positive. Witnesses in San Francisco noted that Klaus Fluoride >bragged on stage that the band had only practiced twice in thirteen >years, and in some viewers' opinions they sounded like it. Observers >reported that Brandon Cruz had forgotten many of the words, if he had >learned them at all. An angry journalist in Brazil even tracked down >Jello Biafra to report picking up a wad of paper that had fallen out >of Brandon Cruz's pocket onstage, which turned out to be the words to >"Viva Las Vegas." > >In August 2001, Jello received a letter from Decay's lawyer that they >don't intend to pay Jello unless he pays them roughly $140,000 - >which they claim are his share of their legal bills to sue him - and >they have provided no documentation to back this up.

That's what I do. I bitch. I bitch about advertising, because I'm in it. Media actually changes the world and I think people who actually work in advertising have the responsibility to realize that with advertising you can top people. You're getting people to buy things they don't want. Spend money they don't have. That's a bad thing. You should get them to buy things that are good for them. At least, do something useful with it. That's why I don't have a job. I started my own ad company. It's going alright. I only pick up clients who sell things that are actually useful. Sonox.com, for instance. They pick up musicians or albums or bands that don't have representation in any other way and they put them on the internet. You could buy a song and it goes straight to the musicians. [My last company] made me make a Loreal ad. And I quit. I couldn't do it. I produce Ad-rag.com where I bullshit about advertising and say nasty things and a lot of internal gossip about advertising people. Which is only interesting to people who are in advertising, but they don't want it spread, and then I put it on the internet, which just really kills them most of the time. So for five years I had to hide the fact that it was me doing it because if I was out looking for a job and they knew I was the person they would never ever ever hire me. I get cease and desist orders about once a week. FNORD!: OK. the 411 about SOA at an MP3 page. Yay, html. Over at MP3.com there's a website you might want to check out. Of course only if you don't mind all their cookie ideas and stuff. Lately, I'm thinking as bad as they are with them, at least they're not quite as bad as CNN's news pages. Yikes. If you look up "cookie hell" in the dictionary I bet there's a CNN corporate logo sitting there. Anyhew, here it is: http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/126/close_the_soa.html ...and it's basically songs by artists known to have done some work toward shutting down the SOA. Last week (the 17th to be specific) was the one year anniversary of the SOA having pretended to close down but reopen in the exact same buildings with the same charter and for the same ends and means.
