I also knew Jello Biafra. He's a complete arsehole. MEAN and a major diva, WORSE than Exene was.
A buddy of mine was working with Ian McKay a lot back in the 80's and he told me Jello was hanging out and crashing with them and beginning to wear out his welcome.
Someone took a frozen rat and suspended it over his face as he slept one night and waking with it dripping on his face pretty much conveyed the "move along" message...
