The image is a Buddhist monk setting himself on
fire, probably based on an event on a Saigon Street in June 1963, Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức lit himself on fire
and set off a chain of events that led to America's involvement in the Vietnam
War, with the text ‘Holiday in Cambodia’ & ‘Dead Kennedys’.
"Holiday in Cambodia" is a song by American punk rock band Dead Kennedys. The record was released as the group's second
single in May 1980. The song was
written shortly after the genocidal dictatorship of the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, which is estimated to have been responsible
for the deaths of roughly a quarter of the Cambodian population between 1975 and 1979. The lyrics are
critical of disingenuous college-aged students
in the Western world, contrasting
their lifestyle with that of those under the Cambodian regime.
