Holiday In Cambodia

The final blog of the semester is the song Holiday In Cambodia by The Dead Kennedys. This song is great overall as it focuses on the rich overeducated urban people who don't have the closest idea of what it's like to be poor, and think that they don't have the greatest life. Then the Dead Kennedys start to sing about the hardships in Cambodia, I started to look up the history and in the song, I think they are talking about Khmer Rogue who is communist guerrilla warfare, and took power in Cambodia where he leached off the people, and sadly put them in slavery on labor forced farms. While this was very sad, and heartbreaking the Kennedys are singing about the fact that some people in the US need to be reducated on what it means to be in that type of situation. Now back to the song I liked the guitar at the beginning and the instrumentals throughout that made the song sound unique from the rest.
