message: His obituary in the Los Angeles Times reports his birth year as 1944 and his age at death at 49.  Meriting footnote reference?  LA Times Obituary

replies: text: Hmmmm...that's interesting but probably incorrect, I have to say. Clarke's birth date is given as June 3, 1946 in Johnny Rogan's Byrds' bible Timeless Flight Revisited (1998), in Christopher Hjort's exhaustive So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star: The Byrds Day-By-Day (1965–1973) (2008), in John Einarson's biography of Gene Clark (2005), on the Allmusic website, and even on the memoriam from Clarke's friends and family that is linked to in the "External links" section of the article. Given this overwhelming consensus among noted experts on Clarke's life and even those who knew him personally, I think it's probably safe to say that the LA Times has simply got it wrong. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 13:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth Year; Age at Death

message: McGuinn's assertion on the Clarke page is presently unreferenced.  The original source for the sentiment comes from the Ask Dr. Byrds discussion forum, where McGuinn is quoted as follows:
:"When we went to court to get the name of the band, we didn't establish ownership. The judge ruled in favor of Michael Clarke because he had been using the name and we [Crosby, Hillman and McGuinn] hadn't used it in years. When Michael died, the name went to his estate..." --McGuinn in Cleveland Scene.
The quote is undated, and when I searched the current Cleveland Scene website, it didn't come up in terms of articles currently electronically indexed.  If someone has library-based access to earlier editions of Cleveland Scene or can otherwise substantially reference McGuinn's sentiments here, suggest that this is important, in terms of ultimate ownership of The Byrds name--prior to the rights being purchased by David Crosby in 2002 (another point for which independent reference is required).

replies: text: Yeah, we really need a reference for the primary source of this quote, not just some guy quoting it on a message board. If we can find another source that supports the assertion that The Byrds' name ended up with Clarke's estate until Crosby bought it, that would be OK because we're not actually quoting McGuinn in the article. Only the facts need support, not the actual quote itself. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 14:07, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Byrds name being in Clarke estate

message: The injunction denial in relation to lawsuits over the name appears to relate only to the later action against Clarke alone.  The nature of the earlier action(s) by McGuinn, Hillman and Crosby against Clark and Clarke have not yet been particularized.  I have limited the footnote reference at present to the action against Clarke alone.
