... that Public Enemy played one song when opening for U2 in Arizona in 1992, then left the stage? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (Source: "In Arizona, in Sun Devils Stadium, where we were opening up for U2, we played just that one song and then left the stage...Audio of Chuck D speaking after the Arizona concert in 1992":[1])
ALT1:... that Coretta Scott King condemned the video to Public Enemy's "By the Time I Get to Arizona", which depicts violent revenge for her assassinated husband? Source: "That violent new video by Public Enemy — you know, the one in which the group [kills] in retaliation for the state’s rescinding its Martin Luther King holiday...The civil rights leader’s widow, Coretta Scott King, doesn’t quite see it that way. ”We do not subscribe to violence as a way to achieve any social or economic ends; we condemn violence in any form,” she said recently in response to the video." [2]
Comment: Saw Arizona in the news and was surprised this never had an article before. Pretty sure that the depth and breadth of coverage passes WP:GNG despite there being no single release

Struck ALT0 because I don't think it's interesting enough. But ALT1 is great DYK material! (t · c) buidhe 01:43, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
