Encouragements: Clip newspapers.com citations to make them available to non-subscribers. Run a date script to render all dates in mdy and IABot to archive reference links. Add author information for articles with listed authors (the Leader-Post piece, for instance). Make author listings consistent in last, first format (some are not).
Copy tweaks are the main thing, but there are also a fair number of side suggestions in the reference department. Clipping the newspapers.com citations should be a priority. 7-day hold; ping when ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:44, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In an article published by the Regina Leader-Post, the band stated they received calls from representatives of Bill Clinton, the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States in the then-upcoming 1992 United States presidential election. Said representatives wanted the band to endorse Clinton because they thought the song's lyrics would be appealing to his constituency. Severs refused as he knew that the band members had differing political viewpoints from each other and did not want to involve the band in political matters. Conversely, the song received negative attention from representatives of the Republican Party. Severs stated that an unnamed radio station in a larger market was playing the song regularly, but withdrew it from rotation after "a close personal friend" of President George H. W. Bush called the station and asked them to do so.
