The Jello Biafra Coincidence

I was going to post this in Cafe Society but it really has nothing to do with his music.

Today I was in my car listening to some people on the radio talking about Jello Biafra. They played one of his songs. I have to admit that while I’ve heard of Mr. Biafra, I couldn’t name any of his songs.

Anyhoo, as this song was playing, I looked out the window at a parked truck and noticed that its license plate was BIAFRA.

Don’t know whether it referred to the musician or the short-lived African nation, but it was weird.

I spent a large part of my high school daze listening to Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys.

I can’t imagine having a “Biafra” license plate in this day and age unless you were a big fan of the band.

So your experience does sound pretty damn synchronic.

(Unless the person was some kind of expatriate Biafran official.)

((Or Jello Biafra himself.))

(((Which would be even more synchronic.)))

You almost experienced the “Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.” (Google it.)
