Nik Turner's "Past or Future?" CD has a version of Silver Machine, that has an
intro written by Jello Biafra. Though it sounds like Nik reading it, the sleeve
notes say it is the voice of Jello's. Nevertheless it's very reminiscent of his
spoken word stuff so I at least believe he penned it.

On the Rob Calvert web site (www.thing.de/projekte/future.htm) you can find an
interview where Jello Biafra speaks of Rob Calvert as an early influence to his
work.

I also read that ICU once played at a show with the Toy Dolls!     ...I'd kill to
see that.
