Talk:Mona Bone Jakon

message: I changed the text from 'only non-Genesis appearance' since PG also appeared on backing vocals (as did loads of people who happened to be in the studio at the time) on Colin Scot's 1971 record 'Colin Scot and Friends' (United Artists IMP 1009). --Ndaisley 21:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Just did (another) cleanup of the page, which somehow seems to be a magnet for a whole slew of irrelevant and poorly written information. Patricia Meadows (talk) 21:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it seems to be coming from a single user, ArnoldZippo. Please stop posting this information, as it is irrelevant. A dullard (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ArnoldZippo keeps adding the irrelevant information back in. I keep removing it. Patricia Meadows (talk) 17:39, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ugh. ArnoldZippo has once again riddled this article with unreferenced, poorly written nonsense. I'm tired of cleaning up his messes. Would someone else please just revert it to the last sane version? Patricia Meadows (talk) 00:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup March 2009 

message: I am sure there are a lot of us who, for 30 or 35 years, had wondered what the h*ll the title of this album meant, so we were relieved when Wikipedia informed us that it was Cat's private joke about his wiener. Now, singing songs about your ding-a-ling is a solid tradition in rock 'n' roll -- see Chuck Berry, or Aerosmith's "Big Ten Inch Record" -- a venerable tradition extending firmly back at least to Jelly Roll Morton, who, with his swollen head, even named himself after his love gun. Oh, and did I mention KISS?
So it was no surprise that this club included Cat as a member.
But now you have seen fit to delete this explanation, whilst giving us nothing in its stead. That explanation seemed as good as any. And all of this over a now-dead link which apparently raised no eyebrows for a year and a half.

thread_title: Cat's {}

message: I have added a working source with a 2003 quotation from the same c. 1972 Popmusique interview. That is older than the original 2008 sourcing which is now non-functional.
That suffices to establish the validity of the quotation coming from Popmusique.
So, anyone alleging a fabrication of some sort would need to question whether Popmusique is a legitimate music publication from the period.
Ideally, someone has a copy of this magazine in a closet somewhere, and can provide further details about the article: date, title, author, page number, and so on.

thread_title:  Album title 

message: This Majicat page with the Pop Musique interview has often gone down in the past.
And when that happens, and the link goes dead, some fucking imbecile comes along, and declares, "This link is dead. So this fact is no longer a fact." And this is of course one of the chief failings of Wikipedia, that 1) facts are not facts unless they are cited, and 2) lies are facts as long as they are properly cited. Fact and lie are independent of anyone's ability or inability to find a convenient web source as endorsement.
So I am putting the relevant sections of the page here for posterity.

thread_title: References

message: The name of the song is given variably as "Lilly White" or "Lilywhite". On my early CD (ca. 1990 pressing) it is called "Lilly White", but that could of course be a mistake. Could someone with a vinyl LP take a look? --109.193.211.159 (talk) 09:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some photos of vinyls at this site http://wax.fm/vinyl-lp-releases/cat_stevens_mona_bone_jakon.html which show either "Lillywhite" or "Lilywhite", but none with a space. --109.193.211.159 (talk) 09:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
