Talk:Casey Jones (Grateful Dead song)

Stub, calling all Dead Heads
I'm adding this to differentiate this and the folk song. I'll start it, but I really need someone to expand it. The referrence is a start.Pustelnik (talk) 15:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Has there ever been a claim that Casey Jones was really "high on cocaine" at the time of the wreck or ever? 65.189.216.77 (talk) 09:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The actual Casey Jones was a celebrated train engineer, and there has never been any question of substance abuse.

Incidentally, the lyric is often reported as "Casey Jones is ready/watch your speed" -- any comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nametag (talk • contribs) 06:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment / question: According to this idea, would "Casey Jones (song)" be changed to a disambiguation page? There are a lot of articles that link to "Casey Jones (song)", and they'd all have to be updated as part of the move, right?  — Mudwater (Talk) 10:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Looks like "yes" is the answer to my question. Thanks for updating the links. Did you use a script to do that? Just curious. — Mudwater (Talk) 19:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes. I used "move+". Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 20:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
