Talk:Tim Buckley

message: I think things could be improved if we could include things from the biographies: Blue Melody (Lee Underwood), Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley (David Browne). I'll look to make a page for the second biography shortly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sillyfolkboy (talk • contribs) 16:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Improving the article

message: I know the press associated Tim as one of many "New Dylan"s and "Goodbye and Hello" isn't miles apart from some of Dylan's work but Buckley actually stated he didn't care much for Bob Dylan in this article:
When asked, "what do you think of Dylan?" Buckley replied, "I generally don't." I then came up with a personal question, "What is your favorite Dylan song?" He thought for a moment, and then looked up at me, and said "Desolation Row." Dylan "likes it," he explained.
I think this makes it clear. Unless you can find evidence to the contrary it's best not to say Dylan was an inspiration to Buckley. Thanks. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 12:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Tim Buckley and Bob Dylan

message: I removed this:
At the age of 15, Buckley abandoned the banjo and moved on to the guitar, playing with Princess Ramona & The Cherokee Riders, a country and western band. However, the lead singer saw Buckley was uninterested and instead suggested he apply himself to the emerging 1960's folk scene.
My reasoning:
*1.)  It's not in the source listed.
*2.)  The actual source is discredited by biographer David Browne.

message: I noticed that nobody seemed to make an effort to locate a photographer and ask to upload a photo of Buckley via Creative Commons; instead relying upon a "fair use" image alone. Tsk tsk..  I'm uploading a photo of Tim Buckley, and feel that others should be able to find other photos of him. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 19:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The initial parts of the Early Life section are unreliable. Sources are confused; for example, one takes you to an enotes page and another cites Lee Underwood as the biographer but it takes you to a Wayback Machine bio by Richie Unterberger (that's also found on AllMusic). Assertions such as his musical life began in earnest after moving in 1956 or that his grandmother and parents introduced Tim to certain artists are either not supported by sources or a mis-use of the ones cited. "His grandma dug Bessie Smith" is not that same as the article claims that she introduced Tim to Bessie. Aren't there more reliable sources than this? Buckley is a highly significant artist and deserves better than this from Wikipedia as well as those who admire him. Allreet (talk) 03:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early life...confused sources and use thereof 

message: I can find no credible sources that associate Tim Buckley with anything regarded as “sex funk.“ The only references I can find are instances where people have clearly used the Wikipedia text as their content. Buckley followers would probably argue that it is well-known or understood that a period of Buckley’s life was associated with something called “sex funk,“ but unless that can be properly cited from a legitimate source, it has no place in an encyclopedia. If someone can locate a legitimate source for that labeling of Buckley’s music, then I am happy with it being returned, because I have no dog in this fight other than I am an editor and journalist by trade and I am interested only in bringing Wikipedia articles into proper style.

replies: text: There are many sources clearly not based on Wikipedia that classify that period of albums as "sex funk". For instance, here is an article from 1994 that describes it as such. SFB 22:34, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for that information. Yes, I saw that website before I wrote the paragraph above. However, I don’t find that to be a credible Wikipedia source. It is simply a website someone started. I have started dozens of them and I’m no expert on anything except writing and editing, and none of my websites are about either of those things. I still find no credible source that refers to this man’s work as “sex funk.”MarydaleEd (talk) 03:12, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
