Talk:The Royal Scam

Somewhat Well Dressed?
I take issue with the article's reference to the man as being "somewhat well dressed"

He seems to be wearing a simple overcoat, not a suit coat. And his shoes show a wear hole on the sole. He's clearly on the down and outs.

Dick "Slyde" Hyde
The references to Dick "Slyde" Hyde need to be cleaned up. He's one person.Gcampbel (talk) 01:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There's also a Richard Hyde listed separately... is he the same person too, do we think? -- Bobyllib (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Rolling Stone review history
I've restored the references to the Rolling Stone reviews in my edit. The original url was to the rated reappraisal. Soon after the url content was changed to the original unrated review, at which point someone noticed and changed the rating to "positive". Finally, someone updated the url to the current active url on the RS site of the original review. I referenced the unrated original review and replaced the rating review with an archived copy of the rated reappraisal (the RS site does not seem to have this as content anymore), all with cites to the appropriate Rolling Stone issues. -- J.

Oh please
How informative are the ratings made by All Music? A ten line article on an album and a verdict, what does that mean? Is that encyclopedic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.66.42 (talk) 22:56, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

caves of altimera
I came across an old  book called ' The Caves of the Great Hunters" by Hans Baumann. It seems to correspond directly with the progression of the protagonist in the song, where children discover a cave filled with ancient art. Specifically, Altimira is referred to and the last chapter =Stepping out into Sunshine= seems to correspond to the lyrics in the song ' now I step into the sun'. Hans Baumann reinvented himself as a children's author after being described as 'the poet of the Hitler Youth'. Whether deliberately or not, this adds another level of meaning to a song dealing with, as Walter Becker stated, 'the loss of innocence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Holidaybyaccident (talk • contribs) 11:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you have any source linking Becker with Baumann's book? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
