After Dead Kennedys
After leaving Dead Kennedys, 6025 is rumored to have briefly played with The Residents before being replaced by Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman. After this, 6025 disappeared completely from the public eye.
In a 2005 interview with Loud Fast Rules! magazine, a spin-off of the magazine AMP, Klaus Flouride states that 6025 went on to become a born-again Christian.
6025 was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Dead Kennedys' website simply states that 6025 has been suffering from a disability since the early 1980s. In a 2003 interview for Russian Darkside E-Zine, East Bay Ray mentioned that 6025's mother acts as his legal trustee, and she presently receives all royalties on his behalf.
In Alternative Tentacles bio for Dead Kennedys, former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra states that 6025 hasn't dropped out of music altogether, but that he is still trying to be "the Captain Beefheart of gospel music." 6025 has been working on a Christian punk rock opera for years that, due to his mental state, he has decided he has now finished.

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or kennedys:
“You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can’t answer slurs, but I’m here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn’t.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
