[kj] OT The Melvins & Jello Biafra in Detroit 9/11/04

[Christof hamille]

Oh sorry for the delay

Sometimes it take sme a while to sift through this stuff.

But oh my side is aching you are killing me.  William Shatner indeed.  The 
"I can't see that my hair is going" schtick is working for him also.

I hate to brag and I am not one to say holy shit very often (especially for 
shows) but yes it ws quite good.  Maybe with the album coming out and Biafra 
being such a anti-Republican maybe we will see more
