Lead singer of a red link band, featured in a supposedly notable film. News sources are mostly trivial.

 * Rolling Stone wrote a brief obituary about him (Sep 18, 2003., Iss. 931; pg. 30), as did the Star Tribune (Aug 15, 2003. pg. E1). Two other articles in the Star Tribune mention his death as having had an impact on other bands (Jan 27, 2006. pg. F1; Aug 15, 2008. pg. E2); same for an article in the Chicago Tribune (Dec 15, 2006. pg. 14). These are all brief mentions but I would not call them "trivial". Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call the sources trivial, but I'd call the coverage trivial. Everyone makes nice stuff up to say in an obit. If it took dying to get noted, I don't think he was that notable alive. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
