Calling All Tentacles!!
And all supporters of the weird and kool! -

SPARKS ARE ALMOST HERE!!
8 pm in SF at the Golden Gate Theatre, across the street in back from the Warfield.

There’s still a few too many tix left, so I’m trying to help some folks I dearly love.
Beneath the surface, they are still one of the most brilliantly warped Rock/Pop/and even Swing bands ever.

One of my absolute all-time faves, and biggest inspirations for what became Jello Biafra and beyond. Especially the lyrics, THEE major influence on my own wordy writing style, with no nasties or wicked humor barred. THEE sharpest most insightful satire on the singles scene and California-ness this side of Frank Zappa.

So come check em out!
Keep in mind this is not a Live Nation show, Another Planet, or even AEG - It’s a local promoter!
Folk Yeah, who does a lot of the Chapel shows.

Otherwise, they’ll be… SPARKS MAD!

Originally designed by legendary artist Winston Smith in 1981 for Alternative Tentacles, and Winston had thought he was drawing just one vinyl label for one release. Based upon a chicken scratched drawing from Jello and from his childhood, when Smith came up a character in 4th grade with triangle eyes, nose, and sometimes ears he had called "Mockwanies". Years later it is still a legendary symbol for Alternative Tentacles Records and punk rock itself.

And now THIS!!
Welcome to the new Hong Kong? Navalny would be ashamed.
So OK, Hollyweird, NOW are you going to step up??
Many of you have the money to start your own kickass cable network right now.
Better yet, Calling Oprah!!
Where are yoooo??
You already have a network.
And here’s the Trumpzi thugs ganging up on your race and gender, and it’s sn*******ng!
Why not sign up both Kimmel and Colbert right now, and relaunch their shows while the irons are hot, with the biggest splash you’ll ever get.
You’ll make a mint, Oprah, what are you waiting for??..

- CALLING ALL TIK TOK CITIZENS!! -

You know,
The ones who care about our country, our future and our endangered constitutional democracy!!
YES! YOU!

The ones who RSVP’d by the zillions for the Trumpzi’s half assed attempted Nuremberg rally in Tulsa in 2020.
1.5 million predicted by Fox on down. Only a few thousand actually showed up!!
The angry bedraggled look on our Ego King’s face shuffling back across the White House lawn in the wee hours was too frickin priceless. 🤣🤣

Cue Flipper,
“Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha 🎶
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho 🎵
Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee 🎵🎶…”

And a BIG Flipper-size Thanx Again for all the faux RSVPs for his joke of a military parade he threw for his own birthday!
Throngs expected, empty seats everywhere!! Including right in front of him!!
BRAVO!! Good job!!
His own soldiers seen smiling, waving and even chuckling as they passed by the scowling pissy president, as his arm got tired.

And no one’s laughing harder about this than Putin, Little Rocket Man, and especially the Chinese.

If there’s one thing I LUV about creative protests, it’s PRANKS!!
Now more than ever -
NO VIOLENCE!!
FIGHT FASCISM WITH HUMOR!!
It’s what scares me the most!
Who needs Tyler Robinson when you’ve got P***y Riot!!

Now, true to form, the entire Trumpzi Junta had hijacked the memorial for the tragically murdered Charlie Kirk, to blow it up into his desperately wanted Triumph of the Swill moment, likely assaulting us on all the networks, except the NFL games.
60,000 expected!! Roaring away on cue for Trump, Mr. Charlie, and all things MAGA/Project 2025!

Or…
How many will really be there?
***My dear courageous actual patriots ***
- You know what to do!! -
So if you aren’t at it already, GO!! 🤡🦾💩👻🦶🫀
