Live at the Royal Exchange...packed to the lids, JET BLACK had just been asked what was the feelings of the band about drugs...he said ’’we love em, what do you feel?’’.
The A.B.C. tried to delete them from countdown but MOLLY [to his credit] refused to alter the format. It was 1978 [I think august.]

V2 [Peter] spits repeatedly on Jean Jaques Burnell...he tells him quite clearly that it’s a filthy act and he should stop.
He continues...without warning Jean raises his bass guitar and cracks old PEDRO across the head. splits him and knocks him cold .

The band plays on, they were stunned by the fact that JOE BJELKE PETERSON has allowed the nuclear ship [Stallwart ] to enter Brisbane port when the entire world has refused them access to water /fuel and provisions....JOE allows them to actually dock and alight on to AUSSIE soil.
5 months later they write ’’NUCLEAR DEVICE’’...NOW LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO THE LYRICS...UNMISTAKENLY WRITTEN ABOUT BRISBANE 1978..

12 months later, standing on ADELAIDE street discussing this with PELEGRO from the DEAD KENNEDY’S...COPS HEAR HIS ACCENT AND ASK HIM TO SPREAD EM.. headlock, ankle kick and bloody nose.

ANDY NEIL from the local radio station, 4zzz apologizes on behalf of BRISBANE and hands him a pineapple as a welcoming gift. The copper warns that it is a dangerous weapon if used aggressively. PELEGRO sticks it under his t’shirt and says ’’well then out of mind..."

As everybody who attended the hearing on Monday in 169 George street knows.... he appeared charged with .......wait for it......’’concealing a dangerous weapon’’....

this caused the DEAD KENNEDYS to return to BRISBANE and play 3 more shows ,they played under KARENS house at spring hill...free ,we could not believe it, we took turns guarding the street so we could hide the band amongst the crew if the cops came...word got out and you couldn’t walk in that street. Cops did come but knew us and thought we were trouble....................................they were fuck’n dead right.
