Worse than that, I'd say. The new revamped Dead Kennedys are essentially complaining that they're finding it too hard to make serious money from 30 year old material. In the 15 years or so since they reformed, they've not apparently written or released one new song. The closest they came was when they played one of their old songs in concert with the lyrics reworked as 'Mp3 Get Off The Web', which was essentially a complaint that it was too hard to seek rent in the modern recording industry. If they were actively trying to record new music to compete with the newer musicians they're moaning about, and finding that hard, it might be easier to sympathise with them. As it is, the new Dead Kennedys are just a cover band which collects royalties (and the collection of royalties seems to be their main focus). I still have my Dead Kennedys albums from the first time round so I don't have any need to buy them again, and younger kids have younger musicians to listen to. Who do the Dead Kennedys think is going to pay money for them to rerecord 30-year old material?
