Talk:Loretta Lynn

message: There is ample evidence she was first seen by Zero Records execs in Vancouver BC at a joint called the Chicken Coop. This is when and where they decided to record her. The article should be properly updated. See this article.

message: In 2006 Lynn underwent shoulder surgery after injuring herself in a fall. There were complications during the procedure and she had to be revived by doctors. The surgery was successfully completed later.Loretta Lynn: Van Lear Rose (2004) reviews", Metacritic.com; accessed March 3, 2007.Lorreta Lynn "Died" in surgery, ContactMusic.com, June 8, 2006; accessed March 30, 2012.

replies: text: I certainly think most of the changes you've made are improvements. It occurs to me that it's probably noteworthy that she had to be revived during surgery, but I could be wrong. My take on the political opinions is this: if a public figure makes public statements about political matters, it's worth mentioning if it has received significant coverage from mainstream sources.

text: I don't see a problem with having content about the surgery, but the first source doesn't back up the content at all, and the second one maybe isn't the most reliable.  As for political views, I totally agree with Rivertorch's Evil Twin. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 13:10, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Injury and recovery

message: A lot of people revert age 15 to age 13, which is what she said for years.  However birth records and marriage records prove she was 15 at her marriage in 1948.  The following article explains how the story was changed.  http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/story/2012-05-18/loretta-lynn/55068814/1 Sir Rhosis (talk) 15:24, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Negative, "I had my 4th child by the time I was 17". She was 13 years old when she was married. The Video alone at 6:00 where Loretta Lynn herself states this plainly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7rxKMHL26w at exactly 6:00 minutes in. So her date of birth is incorrect. 2601:983:4600:6832:0:0:0:B1 (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

text: Wrong.  She fibbed about her age for years.  If you had bothered to read the article I provided above you would learn that her birth certificate gives 1932 as the year of birth.  Do the math:  Born 4-14-1932 and married on 1-10-1948 equals 15 years, 8 month and 28 days. Sir Rhosis (talk) 23:23, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

text: She was born in 1932. Legal docs prove it.  She never would admit it.  Given that she was born at home without a doctor is likely why she was confused about her age.  Its common for people born at home without a physican to not know their real DOB.  My mother did the same thing, but her older sisters finally convinced her of the year she was born. 75.131.112.13 (talk) 16:56, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Age at Marriage

message: "In 1967, she had the first of 16 No. 1 hits, out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner. Her later hits include "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)", "Fist City", and "Coal Miner's Daughter".Coal Miner's Daughter. p. 73.
Lynn focused on women's issues with themes about philandering husbands and persistent mistresses. Her music was inspired by issues she faced in her marriage. She increased the boundaries in the conservative genre of country music by singing about birth control ("The Pill"), repeated childbirth ("One's on the Way"), double standards for men and women ("Rated 'X'"), and being widowed by the draft during the Vietnam War ("Dear Uncle Sam").
Country music radio stations often refused to play her music, banning nine of her songs, but Lynn pushed on to become one of country music's legendary artists.
Her bestselling 1976 autobiography, Coal Miner's Daughter, was made into an Academy Award–winning film of the same title in 1980, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones. Spacek won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Lynn. Her album Van Lear Rose, released in 2004, was produced by the alternative rock musician Jack White. Lynn and White were nominated for five Grammys and won two.
Lynn received numerous awards in country and American music. She was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1983, the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008, and she was honored in 2010 at the Country Music Awards. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2013. Lynn was a member of the Grand Ole Opry since joining on September 25, 1962. Her debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was on October 15, 1960. Lynn recorded 70 albums including 54 studio albums, 15 compilation albums, and one tribute album,"
I removed this material as it was mainly redundant and also out of place in the pre-1960s section of the article. A couple details like dates of the Grand Ole Opry might need to be readded to appropriate sections. Rmhermen (talk) 19:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
