[Audio] Former local in music ‘supergroup’ slams Trump with punk icon; Humboldt’s last week of news


In the latest episode of Humboldt Last Week (12:36): Warning: Explicit language. Mike Patton — the Humboldt-raised musician who hit it big with Faith No More and other bands — made national headlines last week when his “supergroup” Dead Cross joined former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra onstage at a show in Berkeley to do a version of the 80s song “Nazi Punks Fuck Off,” this time with the title “Nazi Trumps Fuck Off.”

“The performance came less than two weeks after alt-right protesters and neo-Nazis clashed with counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia over the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue,” reads a Rolling Stone article, calling Dead Cross a supergroup with Faith No More and former Slayer members.

In the podcast, information is shared about Patton’s Humboldt history, perceptions on the role musicians play as political commentators, the performance, comments for and against the performance, as well as info on some musicians for and against Trump.

The story starts at 12:36.

Disclaimer: Had a former Humboldt musician made national headlines in support of Trump, that also would’ve been covered by Humboldt Last Week.

Also covered

The Miami Dolphins sign Rey Maualuga, alleged arson brings down part of the Blue Heron in Eureka, the former DA comments on last week’s story, that eye-bulging Winco incident, a likely future NFL player at HSU, the lawyer with a loaded gun at the courthouse, the APD chief slams racist groups, a local novelist writes a horror, West Nile Virus in Humboldt, crime updates, and much more.

FNM isn’t a hardcore legacy band.

Jello, is a greedy capitalist filing takedown notices on Alternative Tentacles material.

These social justice warrior types are putting on a front, trying to profit from the drug crazed, Hollywood run, youth movements.

The only decent album The Kennedy’s ever cut was Bedtime For Democracy.

Frankenchrist poster was made to get media attention from All Gore’s wife, Tipper and The PMRC. Wouldn’t shock me if the Gore’s had a business selling those warning stickers.

Ice-T was never in jail & out of the Congressional hearings, only Frank Zappa had any of his own ideas to say.

Like Frank used to say about weed, ‘ Dope…..you are what you smoke.’

Report dope growers to federal authorities with names, license plates, intervals, and anything pertaining to money laundering.

Try and get your local dope grower arrested before they go into full terrorism mode next month.

The world will be a better place with every dope grower doing time in federal prison.

I’ve got Docs older than that wannabe scene.

FNM is a third generation band, bunch of fakers with parent money, IMHO.

Bands like this weren’t hardcore-

Look like a bunch of Arcata Hsu indoor growers compared to the Bad Brains.

Old farts hoping Jello can funnel some cash…

Not punk rock, just sheltered collar shirts with a shave over the ears.

Cromags Age Of Quarrel is hard core, not these bozos.

The things that presents a real challenge to a peabrain Conservative is debating someone who exhibits an almost cult-like conviction (just like they do), and a cocksure attitude about an argument. So attitude is very important. The typical loud-mouth, idiot Conservative expects you (if you are a so-called Liberal or Progressive) to fold quickly, or be intimidated, back-down, or exhibit weakness.

See you around CHUMP!

Zappa also said ‘the only dope worth shooting is Nixon’. We don’t really have to guess how he would’ve regarded Trumpski.

Conservatives are born with a congenital defect: STUPIDITY! How else do you explain the backwards, regressive, IGNORANT attitudes of these cretinous losers?
They labeled their cowardly asses perfectly with the SNOWFLAKE moniker: peabrain party of STUPID Conservatives are scared of everything and especially cannabis. Hair Hitler The Mango Mussolini Chump trump: only a total ahole supports this piece of shit.

I know right! Look at the conservatives who’ve ran for office, declaring the drug war to be immoral and unconstitutional. They demanded for it to be decriminalized. They demanded for government to get the hades out of marriage, education, agriculture, health, small businesses, homes, and backyards.
They didn’t win.
Why?
Their opposition wanted to fine it, tax it, jail it, and add more unconstitutional agencies.
And here we are, angry at the conservatives for being a voice that just won’t shut up.

If you’re mad at the Neo-cons, I agree with your rant. The neo-cons fit your rant.
If you’re mad at the conservatives, I feel bad for you.
I feel embarrassed for those who don’t know the difference.

The original BLM group started to raise awareness. The antifa bloc party provocateurs took over. The oBLM voice was shut down, but not the provocateurs ..
https://www.youtube.com/embed/TjKy2XpXXt8

The provocateurs are always given “space”.

They’ve all asked their mayors, governors, and Pelosi’s, why they feed the riot beast.

It’s pretty obvious.

You didn’t see the 60’s which Jerry Gar of the CIA, made culture in a Hollywood basement.

Yes, The Dead were CIA, so were the album covers, globes, notes, striped, etc.

Many of you are test subject guinea pigs.

The fun people in the CIA years flew for that pink stuff that isn’t around anymore.

As the chips fall, where will you be?

Oh gee, how brave of the punk. Imagine a singer who uses profanity to insult Pres Trump. I have not heard of such a thing.

If he really had a backbone he would go against the flow and say something nice about Trump.

Yes, so it seems. The difference is typical of the over indulgence of self righteousness. If a person does support Trump, is conservative or just has a different agenda, they are subjected to name calling, personal insults of the crudests kind. In fact it sounds very much like a temper tantrum- no reasoning, understanding or even thought. Just piss and spit.

Personally I think that such people love making public exhibition of their innate dirty psyches where their personally repulsive nature can be dressed up as empathy for others. In reality, they parade their defectiveness no matter who is in office. They always find cause for it- apparently as car accidents, signage, expressing sympathy for children, the very existance of police have all been sufficient cause in their eyes to spew irrational and excess hate in postings here , directed at other posters, not causes, in recent days

Truth is that the current garden variety of liberal, as self identified here anyway, is a wannabe, back seat driving tyrant without the coping ability of most two year olds. Just plain ugly, frothing at the mouth.

Such behavior- bullying, rude, dismissive and just plain nasty is the reason Trump is President. And don’t go into the knee jerk response ‘Trump is not President.’ Only the totally irrational would confuse ‘ought not to be’ with ‘is not.’ If there is a continuation of such behavior, there will be even much worse on offer. And despite the refusal to accept adult responsibility, it will be their fault.

Sounds like someone has been watching too much Fox News.. I think, as someone middle of the road, that trump is a terrible prez and most of his supporters are not going the same direction as the majority of America or the world. We’ll see what happens in the mid terms and next presidential election.
It’s interesting that you think the anti trump crowd is ‘bullying, rude and dismissive’ .. that pretty much defines ‘projection’ .
Anyway, all the fake conservatives who think they are on top of the world right now, enjoy your time in the limelight it will be over soon. Says the other 67% of the country.

Apparently you watch too much NBC, where all national news is twisted and edited to make their Great Faux Pas of being wrong about Trump,from his announcement he was running through the post election quibbling, seem less idiotic than it was. They were so very wrong from start to finish about what the country wanted, hearing only their own opinions repeated endlessly . Which is what happens when you dismiss everything you don’t want to hear. Yet, despite the overwhelming obvious failure, they insist on trying to bend people to their will rather than figuring out and reporting what is. They would rather damage the whole country rather than admit their own power to dictate is limited.

Trump won because he did not hesitate to out troll those consumate trolls- the Loudmouth Left. He refused to be cowed by the media. He returned fire relentlessly regardless if the petty nature of the incoming shots. The media and the pundits had solely been in control of that tactic until Trump.

And despite that tactic having backfired in their own Great Error, that is apparently the only weapon in the media’s arsenal. They, as evidenced here too, won’t give it up. I watched NBC national news report on the start of the flooding in Texas use the opening headline that some pundit somewhere thought Trump’s tweet on being prepared was a test of his Presidency and was woefully incompetent and he therefore failed the country. They ignored the actual news that might have given people information they could use in order to travel their worn rut of Trump bashing over a non issue. That is their priority to the excusion of everything, absolutely everything, else. How can anyone not have utter contempt for them.

Many here, like those reporters, can’t even see the middle of the road much less occupy it. Just like the majority of reporters, they seem to think that,if they just keep insulting, they can force others to admit they are right. Or at least shut up. So they can stop feeling angry over having made fools of themselves. Sense, kindness, understanding, thought are all sacrificed on the altar of Taking Everything Personally.

The nonsense remark about ‘projecting’ is just the sort of problem I mean- it sounds important in your own ears but has no meaning except as an expression of contempt to someone else. It’s irrelevant, personal and has no value except as attempt to slap down. A constant refrain echoing from childhood where school yard spats are never over issues- just personal power or lack of it. It’s the crying ‘uncle’ that’s important because, in the school yard, the adults in the world have charge of the real issues and squabbling is all that’s left for the kiddies.
