This is oldish news, but it turned up online th'other day..... >From: HERMES::"chadley@maths.tcd.ie" "Caroline Hadley" 26-MAY-1994 12:21:40.29 !!!Did you know about this...? jello biafra is in serious condition. He has been severely beaten and risks losing the use of his leg. Also, he has taken several blows to the head, so his mental condition is not exactly 100%. Rumours abound that he has said that he is quitting everything (spoken word, music), but the people at Alternative Tentacles assure me that he has said nothing regarding this matter. I encourage one and all to send good words to Jello. He has contributed so much to the collective conscious of us all that no attempt to explain his importance could do him justice. Anyway, here is the address where concerned individuals can send encouraging words: Alternative Tentacles Records PO Box 419092 San Francisco, CA 94141-9092 USA From tomj Mon Jun 6 22:09:18 1994 Received: from localhost by fido.wps.com (8.6.5/wps.com-hackery) id PAA00538; Mon, 6 Jun 1994 15:09:17 -0700 Received: from selway.umt.edu by fido.wps.com (8.6.5/wps.com-hackery) id NAA00341; Mon, 6 Jun 1994 13:35:31 -0700 Received: by selway.umt.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA19616; Mon, 6 Jun 1994 14:35:20 -0600 Date: Mon, 6 Jun 1994 14:35:20 -0600 (MDT) From: Ryan R Snyder Subject: JELLO - Update on Jello Biafra's Beating (fwd) To: w00f! w00f! w00f! w00f! w00f! w00f! w00f! w00f!

A cameraman from the local college paper (the Daily Texan) snapped a horrific picture of some jock grabbing and twisting Jello's leg as the poor guy sat on a bar stool onstage, his leg already in a cast/brace from a previous incident. Hence, during a break in the song "Jock-o-Rama," you can hear Jello mutter "Hook 'em, Horns," a reference to both the incident and the U of TX mascot, the longhorn steer (affectionately known as "Bevo").
