This was filmed in September 2013, on the same day that Kim Gordon was performing with Body/Head at Portland's Time Based Arts festival (hence her cameo.) As far as I know, she was only in town for that day. I later went to that gig and actually ran into Jello at the venue's makeshift bar, and my friends and I got a picture with him. He was wearing THE SAME SHIRT as he was in this video, and looked exactly as he does here. Great memory.
@@nickcarroll5034 Because what’s the alternative. I hate it too man, but this election was a vote between mediocrity and Neo-Fascism. But I agree, we have to be more aggressive with regular dems.
alex; I mean, 1986 was already modern. Now, if he had suddenly zapped from 1986 to San Francisco now and saw everybody walking around staring at a screen, he might be kind of weirded out by that.
My town has been completely overrun by yuppies with special doggies, yoga mats, clear ray ban's, well-groomed beards, and run marathon's every morning before going to corporate tech jobs.
I mean, most of his vocal performances for the Kennedys are VERY theatrical. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he could pull off an Oscar winning performance, if he cared about it enough.
@@lildeformity2228 I agree. Mister Guy, gentrification isn't good, it's kicking out poor people out of neighborhoods and replacing them with wealthy people. The "improvements" don't come from helping people who need the help, just kicking out the existing population and replacing them with people who have more money. The poor people then get kicked out of their own properties and thrown onto the streets, probably will start begging you for money, Mister Guy.
Yeah, never grew up, what with not becoming a conservative when he got on in years, like so many of his peers. Total asshat for not supporting the politicians and policies that have fucked most people, and will likely literally destroy civilization.. fucking immature asshole..
People really give up on fighting for what's right and act like they've "grown up" when in reality they've just chosen to ignore the suffering of others and convinced themselves that suffering is self-made. It's pathetic.
@@somekid7 Yes, many people do give up the fight at some point. But fortunately there are a lot of good people who maintain their idealism and do what that can to make things better in whatever circles they inhabit. They do the right thing by others because it’s right. And a lot of them do it without attention or accolades because they choose to be the change they want to see. Those are my kind of people.
I love how this show can casually make fun of all sides of an argument: the obvious way it makes fun of yuppies, and the more sly way it jokes that the gutter punks aren't necessarily brilliant world-changers either (like when Jello asks, what happened?? And they respond like, DURR we're drumming)
He called Kim Gordon a yuppie...haha! That sums up him and his ignorance when he was the young d-bag Biafra. But its great he can make fun of himself now. I also heard an interview where Fred talked about how serious he took this role and did not approach it lightly.
I think the irony is that Generation X became the hipsters/foodies etc... just like the Boomers/hippies became the yuppies once they sorted out the real dropouts from those trying it out. full circle.
im leaving my house right now to go downtown here in philadelphia to do that! and its cool that those people (sorry dude i cant remember your name) one of my favorite snl cast members of all time.good shit guys
@Practicalicalicalica what? A conformist? Young urban professional? That’s Jello to a T . Go to any Whole Foods in Portland and strike up a conversation with any asshole there and it’ll be exactly what Jello says
Except it still wouldn't be middle class for the minimum wage as $15 an hour only allows for a generally decent standard of living, not a house and several kids like in the past. As well as Yuppies are upper class as they can afford being a "Foodie", being Yogies in the park (since the yuppies actually get weekends off), owning a Corgi, and other leisure activities that no lower or middle class can afford as the upper class can do casually.
Until a revolutionary change happens, most people will continue to support small raises and depend on the minimim wage, which will never catch up with costs of living and inflation. If we want to be paid what our labor is truly worth, then we need to have direct control of production. Decades ago in the US, co-ops started to spring up and give power back to the workers. Some survive today, but like with unions, that power has shrunk from nearly half the population's support to only about a tenth. We need to keep educating ourselves on political theory and organize movements, or soon our power will continue to shrink. People will always have to step up and fight. There is always work to be done.
in the US, it was the trend people who got to the hippie party too late. graduate college in early 70's, eventually rule the 1980's as young 30somethings.
Chris Henniker like got into the moment as it was coming to a close, early '70's. too old to be punks, hitting 30 in the early 80's. that's my understanding anyway.
Middle class hippies and punks embraced leftist ideologies which led them to those lifestyles despite having been able to pursue professional jobs. When many of them burned out and gave up on their political movements, they returned to the middle class and became professionals.
