I disagree!!!!!! we should argue for 2 days now

dang9669 - Even so, I'm sure some creative whiz could put something impressive together to go with the song other than newsreel from Vietnam, with or without exciting film/stills from Cambodia. With actors, they could stage better scenes. Yes, some people are that dumb - but that doesn't mean DK should give them an excuse.

I get your point, allan. The footage is famous footage from the Vietnam war, not Cambodia. The only footage I've seen of Pol-Pot Cambodia is in a recent documentary. If you know about more, please post a link for us. The footage in the documentary was not very graphic and really wouldn't work for this video. Anyway, if someone is dumb enough to think Cambodia is a place in Vietnam, then they are probably too stupid to think twice about DK lyrics or who the hell Pol Pot was in the first place!

No, people know about Cambodia. There is just little to none known footage.

That comment was a relyy to fathertime's reply to my earlier comment - not that you could find it here easily. He said they used Vietnam clips because nobody knew about Cambodia. So why even write a song about it then? If you do a song about Cambodia, use clips of Cambodia - ESPECIALLY if nobody knows about it. Or they'll think Cambodia is a place in goddam Vietnam. Did pondscum put it together? Well he can just re-do it then can't he!

Hell - someone really messed up the reply sequences here. Why isn't it automatic and instant? And why sometimes don't my posts go through? It just waits there forever and when I come back to the page it's gone.

I was replying to this comment that you made: "That's also a reason not to write the song". But, by reading the "info" that pondscum77 posted, "Clips added to Kennedys clip" suggests that he added these clips, so your criticism is directed to pondscum77, not DK, correct?

The makers of the video might have thought war scenes would be more captivating. Maybe they just wanted to push an anti-US/war message in there. since most of the clip is of the band, they wouldn't need a lot of stills of film of Cambodia in there. If not from the Khmer Rouge period, it could at least have been scenes taken in Cambodia before or after - of the geurilla fighting, the coup, or film/photos taken after the regime fell, if that was allowed by the Vietnamese Communist puppet regime.

dang9669 - I'm not arguing with what the song says. I like the song. But it was released over a year after the regime fell, so Biafra wasn't the first to tell us about it. (He wasn't there himself.) It was the first many kids who otherwise wouldn't care knew of it, but aren't they the subject of the song? The video content may not have been the band's decision. But ironically (being an educational song) it relies on the audience not know the difference.
By: dang9669. on 23 Nov 08, 08:29:36
Allan, more people know about it because Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys wrote this song about it! You blame him for not using "cambodian footage" when there is little to be shown, when you should give him kudos for discussing the topic in the first place! There was footage that got out, and it proved that Jello was correct. His lyrics are spot on! Pol pot was crazy and punished those who embraced western values. This song had to be made! Hell yeah! To Jello, DK, and everyone involved, thanks!
By: allan30000. on 23 Nov 08, 05:05:21
There were journalists in Cambodial at the time, so I expect some film ight have gotten out. Definitely at the time of the revolution and after the regime fell. Failing that - re-enactments.

BEAST!
By: dang9669. on 19 Nov 08, 11:09:57
I love this video! I love the tie-die hippy shirts! Right on FatherTime. Pol Pot was a cruel, crazy man. Allan30000, there isn't much footage of Pol Pot's Cambodia. If you had a camera, the troops would take it, smash it, and put you to work planting rice. You would have been the last in line for that "bowl of rice a day". The more money you had, the more you suffered under Pol Pot, if you survived at all.

Once more, pondscum77, your clips are quality valued! reThanx!
By: allan30000. on 12 Nov 08, 09:56:08
FatherTimeasd - That's also a reason not to write the song. If the video featured Khmer Rouge Cambodia people would put the title of the song and the lyrics together with the video and figure out what it is. (And then they would know about it.)
By: FatherTimeasd. on 11 Nov 08, 15:22:05
Becuase most people don't know shit about the Khmer Rouge or Pol Pot or anything that happened in Cambodia
By: 10truefreak01. on 08 Nov 08, 18:34:36
ahh, finally someone with brains.
By: goastbrane. on 05 Nov 08, 04:32:14
thats fucking stupid

There is no such thing as racist or prejudice, just intollerance for the intollerable.
By: allan30000. on 01 Nov 08, 11:31:56
That was supposed to be a reply to angusthethird's comment (1 month ago) - and I did click on "reply" in his comment. What's wrong with this website?
By: allan30000. on 01 Nov 08, 11:29:14
What about Joseph Conrad's book "Nigger of the Narcissus", Mark Twain's character Nigger Jim, Dick Gregory's autobiography titled "Nigger" (he's negro, and the book is about himself of course), NWA calling themslves NWA's and regular use of "nigger' in songs by black rap groups. Blacks friends often call one another "nigger". And - the DK's drummer in that clip is black. "Nigger" was not a necessarily derogatory word until they started brainwashing whites about racism.

The version posted here sounds a bit different to the one I have on "Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death. I think it's just the vocals.
By: GepownedProductions. on 23 Oct 08, 19:36:01
Agreed.
By: GepownedProductions. on 23 Oct 08, 19:35:35
Amen man, amen. Well said. And I love the song.
By: allan30000. on 23 Oct 08, 07:18:44
Since the song is about life under the Khmer Rouge, why does the video have only clips of the war in it? Most of them look like they are from Vietnam anyway. Thanks for posting this, though, it's a great song and a good clip.
