Talk:Mary Chapin Carpenter

message: Just curious about the use of the phrase "highly successful" when the likes of Bob Dylan are merely songwriters and performers.  As a European I must confess to never having heard of Ms Carpenter, and was curious how she could be "highly successful" if you see what I mean.

replies: text: I'm a European too, and I've been a fan of her for years. Her records has sold extremely well in the US, but well in Europe too. So I don't think that is an unfair characteristic. However, the article needs a lot of work to catch up with those on other artists. I hope someone is willing to work on it. Is there some template we can put on it to make it known that it could use some work? Madman332 15:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: She formerly used a hyphen in her name: Mary-Chapin Carpenter, but now eschews the hyphen: Mary Chapin Carpenter. This probably warrants mention, as it is relevant to the technicality of what her name really is (was?). Her reasons for changing may also deserve mention, although I can't provide any authoritative information about it. According to unverified web sources, she added the hyphen in the 1980s, and deleted it in 1994 at the request of her record company. Her friends call her "Mary Chapin" rather than "Mary". Her father is Chapin Carpenter.
:I recall reading years ago (perhaps in an article in The New York Times) that her friends called her 'Chapin' as she felt 'Mary' was plain or square.I imagine she added the hyphen to avoid the assumption that 'Chapin' is part of her surname. --anon. 141.157.211.168 (talk) 03:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, does anyone know how to pronounce her middle name? I like her music, but I've never heard her name being pronounced. Does it rhyme with French "lapin"? --Kjoonlee 20:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Harry Chapin - any relation? 

message: The article currently states "Mary Chapin Carpenter has been the author of a biweekly column in the Washington Times since December 2008 in which she discusses a variety of topics related to music and politics."  I looked in the WT and saw no columns since March of this year, so I added the reference to her WT story page and changed it to end in March 2009.  Smontg2 (talk) 20:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The text here refers to "the agreement with the Dixie Chicks ("On With the Song")," but there is no previous reference to the Dixie Chicks.  Perhaps it was edited out.  Could one of this page's editors explain what the "agreement with the Dixie Chicks" refers to.  Thanks.

thread_title:  Question about content of "2000's" section 

message: Why on earth so many references to the process by which MCC announced information. Surely it is more appropriate to state the facts relating to MCC and then, if necessary, cite the source. I don't care about facebook or twitter or when she announced things or that she is "hard at work" etc...
"In late 2011, Carpenter announced via Facebook and Twitter that she was hard at work on a follow-up album to The Age of Miracles. The beginning recording sessions were recorded at AIR Studios in London, England."
And there are some completely irrelevant facts, such as the following. What matters are the album title, release date(s). The following leaves doubt that the album was actually released, as well as giving irrelevant press release guff.
"On February 14, 2012, Carpenter announced via her management on her official Facebook page, that her new album, Ashes and Roses, would be released on June 12, 2012."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.37.97 (talk) 18:03, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
