'Punk Rock'...thats so stupid..as a lifestyle, I mean.
Punk whatver...man, as soon as I started to figure everything out, I 'sold out' as fast as I could.
But...I helped on the deal with Green Day and he ended up getting like 35 grand for that.
funny 0 bux from 'real' punx
and real BUX from 'fake punks'
hmmmmmmmmm.............
I am real good friends with Winston and he has made exactly ZERO dollars from the logo or anything. ZERO.
think about it. Those rights went as well. Winston got SQUAT.
I suppose you are right, and that is the way I heard it. Just seems like he might have made some effort to joint the circus, but then again maybe its flogging a dead horse.
He was like 80% of the DK's. The other 20% being half EB Ray and Winston Smith (that first LP packaging with the 2 sided lyric poster was sooooo impacting).
He was talking to me and Kurt from Recycled at SxSW last year (2001) and was just breathing pissy anger about those dudes. The way he laid it out, he totally got screwed. He said they wanted to sell the rights to use CAMBODIA... in some Levis commercial or something...and he thought it was just a shame...
hes kinda getting fucked on that...he did like all the work and the second those guys got the rights they just sold it to (I think) Epitaph the next day for CASH.
I side with jello on this debate.
he kept the image and records alive and in print for years and WAS paying them the royalties originally agreed on.
:lol:
he's kinda lispy too, an is a 'close talker'...one night he cornered me at the CW and was going on all excited about how he thought that the name Lethers LObsters was a reat band name and he was gonna start it...now
actully say Leather LObsters with a sloppy lisp.
It was like being in a carwash.
love him tho...still runin his trap after all these years...
they are fore head plugs. whenever I run into him its real hard not to STARE. he looks like a weird Lebanese playboy now with those things. hes gettin kinda chunky too. I love Jello but he's hard to hang with ...hes got a real weird voice and manner about him.
sha! like he IS the bomb! ha!
actually, i thought a big green bomb had a few good connections. the new record "the big ka-boom." the green party for which he ran for office. and it's juxposition to his beliefs in the military (hence the little flower). my client really wanted me to use his image, so it's in there.
