Jackalope Tales – The Last Encore Was A Riot

When the punks said “tear it up,” they weren’t talking about the setlist. In this episode, Charles dives headfirst into the chaos of a Dead Kennedys tour where things spiraled so far out of control that even Jello Biafra found himself on the wrong end of punk justice—blood, boots, and betrayal. Meanwhile, Lisa unpacks a festival hosted by GBH that turned into an all-out war zone once the police showed up swinging. What started as a show became a street riot that blurred the line between concert and combat. It’s punks versus cops, bands versus mayhem, and somehow, the audience versus Jello. Buckle up—this encore doesn’t end with applause, it ends with sirens. [EP 103]
