Al talking about one of his favorite side projects was Lard and working with Jello Biafra - there is no mention of Jello or Lard with side projects on the wiki page.

Confusion about Al's age

Latest comment: 7 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"Born in Havana shortly before the Cuban Revolution of 1959, at the age of three Jourgensen moved to the United States"

How could he have been 3 years old when he was born in October 1958?

Moreover, the Cuban revolution lasted from 1952 till 1959. ~2026-50121-80 (talk) 08:27, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
