Use of lyrics

Normally I would delete the lyrics of the "Up with People" theme song on the grounds of copyvio and wikipolicy, however the statement about them not being allowed for commercial use is a bit confusing. Are the lyrics, therefore, public domain? If so this should be noted. Otherwise they might not be allowed to stay since usually only PD lyrics can be used on Wikipedia. 23skidoo 20:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Much about this group is somewhat confusing. It evolved from a deeply spiritual movement into a peppy light frothy show, it has several names, and the entry looks contrived. It is unsure whether the lyrics are in the pd. Best to remove them in theses circumstances, as I have done, until clarification is given. GRANBRO 22:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whence Came Sing Out America! ??

If I am not mistaken, Up With People! morphed into Sing Out America! at some point, or perhaps the latter was an offshoot of the former. At any rate, that needs to be researched and included, methinks. The "peppy light frothy show" mentioned above was inherent in these shows from the beginning. I attended one of the early shows in 1965 and it was certainly "peppy"! -- Glacierman 05:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added sections & moved some text

I've added the History section near the top to allow the first paragraph to become the intro; inserted the Misc. Factoids section (feel free to edit that name!) in the middle and shifted the website stats there. That'll do for a start. More later when I have the time. -- Glacierman 05:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A quick introductory synopsis of UWP's aims, purpose, goals, message, influences, ideology and/or religious affiliation (if any) would also be helpful. -- JEBrown87544 19:36, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Japan Tour

"... to Tokyo and by train past Hiroshima to Kobe ..."

The geography is wrong. Coming from Tokyo by train, one arrives at Kobe well before Hiroshima, which is some hours further on.
