Out of Nowhere, Dead Kennedys’ ‘Fresh Fruit’ Earns "Gold" Status 43 Years After Original Release

   

This one took me by surprise. The Dead Kennedys made news when their album ‘Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables’ achieved gold status.

That distinction comes 43 years after the album originally came out.

Kind of a surprise. But not necessarily a bad one. 

It would be interesting to see what, if anything, Jello has to say about it.
