Jello Biafra is in Dublin Wednesday 21st in the Laughter Lounge. While looking at some youtube clips of his stand-up shows, I found one where the public image of Morrissey and his fans is abominably exploited for comic effect.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, it is located between 1 – 1.30 minutes:

What a self-serving... (Score:0)
More importantly, what is going on with so called "Punk Legends" becoming comediennes?
You would think that ranting about teenage style political theories would be enough in shitty, disjointed songs.
He's lost his demographic. Hopefully he lampooned Ireland's trampling of abortion rights, and their own kooky, religious fixations. I doubt it, though.
He has to sell his own form of national self-deprecation.

There's always been a very high level of camp and absurdity to the whole thing - that's what makes it healthier than most religions I've encountered, and much more fun, too. I don't think it's a slur to suggest that there may be some sexual ambiguity involved. Last time I saw Morrissey he was surrounded by nearly-naked, bruised men in loincloths, and he was grinning from ear-to-ear. I think he's well aware of the humor inherent in the situation.

And Jello is a very smart guy.
Go see him live and learn something.
