    A great intervention to a belated and much needed debate about Dead Kennedys .....
  

*by H***+ on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2015*

For fans of Dead Kennedys and / or people with an interest in countercultural politics of the USA (particularly San Francisco) during the late 70s / early 80s this is a great read. Foley sets out his stall early in the book with the bold statement "Fresh Fruit was the most important, articulate, and accessible document of dissent to come from American youth in an age when it is generally assumed American youth had given up." Whether or not you may or may not agree with these two statements, Foley's rigorous research and attention to detail offers a pretty compelling case. By mining and exhuming much of the social and political madness that surrounded SF at the time (the so called 'decade of hate') Foley gives us a variety of interesting pathways into the mind-set that produced such a darkly humorous album with titles such as 'I Kill Children' and 'Let's Lynch The Landlord'. At the time of its release FFFRV received a lot of negative publicity from sections of the press which misread its barbed political commentary for cheap shock tactics. The author is a historian by trade and depicts the 'protest ethic' within DK's first album, as a continuation of the tactics and approach which had once flourished amongst the Yuppies yet fizzled out with the advent of the 'me' generation. Whilst this legacy certainly holds water politically, if anything this book also reveals that DK probably used music as a vehicle to take protest further than any of their predecessors or contemporaries .... and that for me is what delineates this record as a unique offering worthy of inclusion in this series. As a long-time advocate of their music,although this release is actually one of my least favourite DK releases, it still resonates and challenges and is highly relevant for today. At the time both left and right were well defined and easier to identify as prime satirical targets, however as Foley points out their lyricist and chief master-mind Jello Biafra actually reserved his most pointed material for those who were positioned in the middle ground, in essence those favouring complacency who just fail to act or think. Maybe this was quite prophetic as the 'middle ground' now magnetises Western politics and enchants policy wonks who see winning the hearts and 'minds' of the centrists as the best way of winning elections. Highly recommended ...

Fantastic book, well designed and a smart read. Any DK fan will enjoy this- it's also a bit of a history lesson. Pretty cool.

    SF politics 33 : Music 1/3
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2015*

Disappointing really. I've read a few of this series and always enjoyed the insight they gave into the making of the record. This one seems to be more concerned with the politics of San Francisco, a bit about the formation of the Dead Kennedys and little else.  The writing about the album itself is brief and not particularly illuminating.
