Talk:Linda Thompson (singer)

message: A Linda Thompson supporter has written much of this entry - it describes her as "heroic," etc. It's crap, makes the whole entry not credible. 68.81.114.143 22:54, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I can't remember where I got that line. It might have been the TV documentary on her life. If it really worries you, you can use this instead:
"Although Islam itself was a revelation," Linda recalls, "the commune was full of white middle-class people trying to punish themselves, and everybody else. It taught me a lot. To stay away from sects, mostly."
The source is this interview: http://www.cdshakedown.com/110696.htm  It conveys much the same sentiment. Ogg 07:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  White and overeducated 

message: The article, while quite informative, is rather biased, and makes a few sweeping POV statements. Do we have, for instance, any sources to cite that LT's breakup with RT was the cause of her hysterical dysphonia? Also, the myth-making and speculation surrounding the final show of the Shoot Out the Lights US tour are fascinating, but not strictly orthodox in an encyclopedia entry. There is a touch of anti-Richard Thompson about the whole article, too. Cravenmonket 14:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is everyone sure she and Richard only had three kids? Apparently there were four.

thread_title:  Children? 

message: The wording suggests this is new material released after her temporary cure, but it is a rarities comp. Murkeychris (talk) 05:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Article now says: "A compilation of Linda's earlier work, Dreams Fly Away (1996), included both previously released songs and alternate versions of some of her better-known songs." Martinevans123 (talk) 20:47, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Dreams Fly Away

message: More detail could be added to her biog, especially later days.  For example, she toured after Fashionably Late but decided not to have the treatment again and now performs only occassionally and sporadically (and with difficulty).  She is working on a new solo album and asking people to fund it in return for tributes etc.  Murkeychris (talk) 05:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There's now quite a bit of material about the period after Fashionably Late. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I searched Flickr for a photo of Linda & failed. I did turn up a nice photo of her daughter Kami. So maybe someone should ask her directly? --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo try & fail 

message: Thanks User:Liverpoolpics for adding the photo by User:Tony 1212 into the infobox, except it's really of Fairport Convention and it's not the clearest image of Linda? I'm wondering if maybe we should keep the "image required" tag here? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:57, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Martin - unfortunately I have no photo of Linda in my own holdings. Tony 1212 (talk) 18:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also also a bit odd/ misleading as she was never a member of Faiport! Martinevans123 (talk) 18:26, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo of [[Fairport Convention]] 

message: FreeBMD shows that the only female Pettifer, registered in Hackney, for the 3rd quarter of 1947, is a Janis L. K., mother's name Meechan:  Is that her? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
