Article has potential, but as it stands has some structure/bias problems.--Theuniversal 23:00, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Definitely. I mean, the fact that any article uses the words "ingenious" or "the best" outside of the context of a quote or explaining someone else's opinion is sort of enough to make you take a step back and seriously wonder whether this was just a fan kissing the band's ass(es). --Refugee621 23:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
It's not my article, but I just dicked with it a little to make it more NPOV. It might need a little more work. Cjmarsicano 02:17, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Article contradiction with parent over bandmates intentions to license to Levi's; parent proposes that it was only an accusation levelled by Biafri, while this article presents it as fact.

[edit] POV

I removed the description, seemed way to biased. Changed some other NPOV related content. --Glasgallow 22:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album Cover

Is the album cover actually from Cambodia or is it from Thailand? Or am I thinking of the Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death cover? Or am I thinking of something else? I remember reading something once that the photo is from the aftermath of a student uprising in Thailand in the 70's (or 80's?) maybe this one Ewlyahoocom 16:37, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

That album cover not picture from Cambodia. It's from Thammasat University Thailand. --Prayalone 08:31, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV in article

We've been over this at the Dead Kennedys' article already: unless you can cite a source saying that the rich people in the song are left wing, don't add it in. For now, it remains at a neutral "upper class" without political leanings mentioned. -- LGagnon 05:52, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I get the impression from the song that it's not just about the upper class, it's about a larger number of Americans, especially college kids, who think they've got it hard but really don't compared to the situation in Cambodia. So I don't know if "upper class" would be the most accurate word to describe the subject either. -- Sly

[edit] Video

I'm going to remove the "HiC had a music video reference". The video referenced is a studio performance recorded at Target Studios, with Peligro on drums. Peligro didn't replace Ted until a while after HiC was released. Also, they also recorded a performance of Bleed For Me in the same session. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srck (talk • contribs) 16:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Writing credits

I've also removed the reference to John Greenway, Biafra's chum, from the writing credits. According to http://www.deadkennedys.com/albums_fresh.html, Greenway only contributed to California Uber Alles Srck (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
