* FridgeBrilliance: "Love Me, I'm A Liberal" can also be interpreted as "[[FunWithHomophones Love Me, I'm]] '''[[FunWithHomophones Il]]'''[[FunWithHomophones liberal]]", or "narrow-minded or "intolerant", which summarizes the song as being about people who only support leftist ideals as long as it isn't personally inconvenient to them.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The political and cultural references in "Love Me, I'm A Liberal" are clearly dated to the 1960s, so much so that cover versions (such as the one by Music/MojoNixon and Music/JelloBiafra) usually write new lyrics with contemporary references that themselves tend to become dated to the politics of the era they were written in.

Liberals are not Leftists. Leftism is Anti-Capitalist while liberals just want to "fix" Capitalism at best, while ignoring the systemic problems that make it exploitative and the racism it needs to justify its existence.

* BrokenBase: A minor case in that there's disagreement on whether "Crucifixion" is better with or without the avant-garde orchestral arrangement by Joseph Byrd. Ochs himself later admitted that he felt the arrangement was a failed experiment. The arranged version is available on ''Pleasures of the Harbor'', while three different acoustic live performances are available on ''There and Now: Live in Vancouver 1968'' (which was actually recorded in 1969), ''Chords of Fame'' and ''Farewells & Fantasies'' (from a 1970 concert at Carnegie Hall), and ''Sings for Broadside'' (believed to have been recorded in 1974 at Vassar College). Despite the disagreement on the ''Pleasures'' version of "Crucifixion" the album is generally considered one of his best and the song is also considered to be one of his best despite disagreement on which is the best version.
