SF Weekly Letter June 25-July 1, 2015

Bad Stats, Worse Logic: When 5 percent of the population commits 50 percent of the violent crimes, they'll also get arrested and convicted more often ["Report Shows Major Disparity in Treatment of African-Americans by SFPD and Courts," Julia Carrie Wong, News, 6/23/15]. It's simple logic. But keep pretending white people are the root of all evil and see where that gets us. BlameYourself

Call to Action: Well, this is a pity! The city has been doing our nonprofits really wrong lately when they've reached out for help ["Crowdfunding Thy Daily Bread," Jeremy Lybarger, News, 6/17/15]. It is shameful that our local government has grown so disconnected from the socially conscious, progressive leanings of our past. I am taking the next five minutes to call Supervisor [Jane] Kim's office to berate her for letting St. Francis slip through the cracks! Will you join me in the effort? Blessings, Sister Dharma Gettin', FPM, PIMP, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc.

Money-grubbing socialist!: Ask his fellow Dead Kennedys what they think of him ["Jello Biafra Punks SF City Hall's 100th Birthday," Matt Saincome, Music, 6/18/15]. Corporate money-grubbing tyrant! flick666

Whose Dead Kennedys?: The ignorance behind saying Jello is a money-grubbing corporate tyrant astounds me. The "fake" Dead Kennedys have been doing everything they can to profit off of Jello's creativity. They are touring with the songs he wrote under the name of a band he created. He has fought them every time the band has wanted to use his songs in mass media and advertising for the purposes of making money because his music would be used in a way that is not in alignment with his values. Shame on anyone who would try to tarnish someone's name by saying the opposite of the truth. Bravo to the city for acknowledging Jello Biafra as part of San Francisco's culture. Thank you SF Weekly for doing a piece letting people know he is part of this event. reebeedeebs

Glad We Don't See Eye To Eye: Too bad your car didn't flip and kill you while driving on Highway 101 ["Stuck in Traffic with Breaking Benjamin," Matt Saincome, Music, 6/17/15]. I bet you're a flag-stomping, Lil Wayne-loving "street thug." Kyle Wiegers

Hey, that's not true... I live in a house!: I bet you take women back to your apartment to tell them what a great music reviewer you are only to have a good cry on their shoulder after 10 seconds of 3-inch flaccid bliss listening to Michael Bolton's "Steelbars." Disgusted

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
