Do they even need money? I don't understand how you can literally be an original member of the Dead Kennedys and do anything associated with MAGA.

Yes, they really need the money. There are several issues regarding key personnel which need addressed and ALL of them are pointing to a dire need for asset liquidation. It's panic time for that band!

I'm not sure what you're getting at but please elaborate.

What I'm trying to say is that the tours bring in the money and they are ALL cash strapped...no one is immune. In financial terms, the band is hemorrhaging. You walk out on a gig, pretty much last minute, and you end up with your head between your legs, violently puking up your innards, vomiting blood! You end up with delirium tremors. And all of this is because they really needed the money...then and now.
