Talk:Arthur Lee (musician)

message: From the article: "Former bandmates Bryan MacLean and Ken Forssi both died while Lee was incarcerated, forever ending any speculation as to a full-fledged Love reunion."
That bizarre notion is funny, damn funny... but is it OK to make fun like that in a wiki article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.237.250.75 (talk) 06:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This article omits Lee's entire prison period; someone want to rectify that? Seems like a pretty important part of the story to me (which I don't know enough about to write, and am not about to go fishing around on the Web to piece it together).--66.52.186.158 05:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Arthur Taylor Porter seems to be the more favoured (rather than Arthur Lee Porter). Can we clear up the difference of opinion on the main article page - particularly now that Mr Lee is sadly no more ?

replies: text: According to Barney Hoskyns, Arthur Lee - Alone Again Or, 2001, , the full name on his birth certificate was Arthur Porter Taylor.  Hoskyns quotes Arthur's mother as stating that he was nicknamed "Po" as a child, as an abbreviation of Porter.  This seems quite authoritative, but when I first added this information, it was reverted by another user.  If there is evidence that his birth name was NOT Arthur Porter Taylor, can it please be set out.  (Great man, by the way, and I'm proud to say I once shook his hand !)

message: It may be useful (especially for those with a strong position on three-strikes laws) to provide citation on the criminal record and resulting prison term.

message: I don't know, there are several pages on Love and Arthur Lee and they seem quite one sided and opinionated to me.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tidm  (talk • contribs) 01:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel the same way and many things don't make sense  i.e He went to school with the same person in his original birth place and also after his mother moved and divorced his father in another state. He was called a hustler in this article and that doesn't make sense. Do they mean he was out trying to get gigs? Also when did playing on a session equate to future collaborations with Hendrix. And how does going to the same clubs  as Mick Jagger indicate a relationship or even importance except as a tie in to a Hendrix collaboration. A session player does not collaborate, he's a hired employee. One last point he was called a hustler and if so that may be why so many titles of songs are names or lines in other songs Beatles She comes in colors, Lou Reeds Stephanie knows and (seven and seven is) a song from a Bob Seger album. I have recently been listening to my 60's Love albums and thought before I actually heard the song I didn't know Lee wrote that song. There are a couple others songs I can think of also. This could explain the statement of Love being such an major influence because those song titles are by far influential songs albeit not the ones by love. It has been over 30 years since I listened to Love and I thought they were covers.  Love was a great group but this article is offensive.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:cfa0:990:20d:93ff:fe30:bd50  (talk • contribs) 22:58, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
