Talk:Soul Coughing

Hey, I don't want to put up a tribute page or anything, but maybe we could put up a little more information about the band, and cut the guys some slack too. It would be good to mention "Circles" since it was their biggest hit, and then maybe link the band members current web pages. All of them are doing other projects which could be mentioned.

Doughty in particular has a cult following after several years of touring. Obviously the band is not for everyone, I think of them as Laurie Anderson meets Run DMC or something, which is pretty weird, but they certainly can lay claim to some of the best lyrics and most innovative keyboard work of the nineties, in my opinion.

It might be good to mention Doughty's performance art period too, as I haven't heard too many slam poets that don't sound like him.

I'm pretty new here, so I'll wait to make any changes.

Thanks.

Tim.

"sometime music writer"
Is "music writer" (= writer on music, music journalist) really what is meant here? I suspect this is supposed to be "songwriter" or "composer". --Espoo 23:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

is the line about a song being used on the Today Show really necessary? was it even played in full? songs get played all the time not-in-full, so as not to pay to use the song, etc.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nnnudibranch (talk • contribs) 21:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

citation
Does anyone else agree that the "origins" section should either be cited, or removed? Because it kinda reads like a press release, and in fact quite a bit of that information is disputed by the former band members... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.161.168.49 (talk) 00:43, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I don't agree. I don't think the way it reads is so bad--not perfect, but not so bad either. Added a ref or two, but not really interested in seeing it littered with citation numbers for no good reason. Could you advise which are the more contentious bits and, if possble, sources to what it is the estranged band members dispute? Thanks. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:43, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
