  • Creator Backlash: Carl and Dennis both hated "Student Demonstration Time". Carl, a conscientious objector and vigorous opponent of the Vietnam War thought that the song was opposed to protesting in general, while Dennis felt that the lyrics glorified violent police tactics (it flippantly portrays the protestors killed at Jackson State and Kent State as mouthy troublemakers). They were only convinced to reluctantly participate after Mike told them that the song was encouraging peaceful protesting.
