PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
In a Jan. 27 letter to the National Association
of Television Program Executives, she urged the
organization to ban traveling animal acts in the
future.
“Animals used in these types of sad displays
are subjected to a constant barrage of handling
and interaction with humans simply to provide
’entertainment,’” she wrote. “Their constant con
finement and handling is both physically and
psychologically harmful. I refuse to be a party to
their suffering.”

a White Guy).”
The song portrays a white teen who “isn’t
cool but fakes it anyway,” or in other words
acts like he’s African-American, Holland says
in the March issue of Spin magazine.
“It’s really inspired by wannabe gang
sters," Holland says. “Guys who go to malls
and get the gangsta rap clothes. Guys on
Ricki Lake who won’t listen to their moms.”
The song on The Offspring’s fifth album,
Americana, has helped make the band a mu
sical industry paradox, an alternative group
that sells a lot of CDs.
Holland says the song is universal in mod
ern youth culture and not necessarily racial.
“I really didn’t want (the song) to be a
black-white thing because that wasn’t exact
ly the issue,” Holland says. “It’s definitely
part of it, but it’s more about poseurs of any
kind.”
