- What does Jello think of the internet?
According to a recent interview in PitchWeekly (May 14, 1998) he said: "With the corporate press being so censored and dishonest and Disney-fied, underground zines and the Net are what's left for people to find out what's really going on....People need to use the Internet as intelligently as possible...People who surf the net for their information need to double-check the stories they pull off the Net to make sure that they're true. If something sounds too good or too wild to be true, it probably is...People who get too caught up in (the Internet) remind me of...the CB craze of the 1970s. 'Breaker, breaker, good buddy, am I talking to a real trucker?' How different is that from, 'Wow, cool, I'm online with Courtney (Love) right now'? A friend of mine tried to get an E-mail address for me and put out the word on the Net, and 12 different people responded and none of them were me."
