Talk:Phoebe Snow

message: I don't know how but she needs to be changed to Phoebe Snow.  Ever hear of Belle Silverman?  Of course not.  Is there a Belle Silverman page?  Ridiculous.  But it does redirect to ... Beverly Sills.  World famous Beverly Sills.  Ever heard of Phoebe Laub?  Of course not.  Is there a Phoebe Laub page?  Yes!  Why?  Pheobe Laub should redirect to Phoebe Snow (singer), or something like that.  If I knew how to do that, I'd do it now. Please someone do it, and consider the comments in the section above as well.  Thank you. --SafeLibraries 12:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It takes an admin to move it to Phoebe Snow (singer), since that article has a non-empty history. I've moved it to Phoebe Snow (musician) instead, which is arguably better anyway.   Wasted Time R 22:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: I removed a sentence that stated that having a disabled daughter adversely affected Phoebe Snow's life. That is the author's personal opinion.
From www.phoebesnow.com:
Snow never regretted her decision to put aside music so she could focus on Valerie's care. She was devastated when her daughter, who was not expected to live beyond her toddler years, died in 2007 at 31.
"She was my universe," she told the website PopEntertainment.com that year. "She was the nucleus of everything. I used to wonder, am I missing something? No. I had such a sublime, transcendent experience with my child. She had fulfilled every profound love and intimacy and desire I could have ever dreamed of."
(This is my first time editing a post, hope I did it correctly.)
Thanks,

thread_title:  Section on disabled daughter 

message: Among Ms. Snow's creditis, there is no mention that that she sang the title theme for the teen comedy "A Different World", the "Cosby Show" spin-off for the first season. I think it not out of place to say that Dr. Cosby would agree that Ms. Snow's contribution was the only "dignified" portion of the entire first season, of which afterwards the show's style completely changed, for the better. Again, all accolades to Phoebe's talent.
Also, I must say that another omission was made that probably the reason for Ms. Snow's daughter's diability was due to her dropping acid years before under the influence of her then-husband. As I recall, this was revealed back in the late 70s when Phoebe admitted her child had severe neurological problems.

thread_title:  Notable Ommissions 

message: There seems to be some disagreement about her year of birth. A number of edits have changed it to 1952 but most referenced news stories list it as 1950. Some editors have left comments with their change saying that the national news stories have the date wrong. User:MooseBlaster says, "She was born in 1952, according to not only NNDB, but her official webpage PhoebeSnow.com and the fan page http://www.vdebolt.com/phoebehome/."  --RanchoRosco (talk) 01:23, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't looked into this in detail, but several probably-reliable sources, including this one, have her graduating from Teaneck High School in 1968.  Assuming an otherwise normal academic trajectory, that fits better with 1950 (~18 at graduation) than 1952 (~16 at graduation).  (But then again, it's worth noting that Shimer College has offered an early entrance program for the past 60 years, so there's nothing unusual about being a 16-year-old freshman at Shimer -- which if she had graduated high school at age 16, might have contributed to her decision to attend this tiny and little-known college in Illinois, rather than some more prominent school where her age would have made it difficult to blend in.  So arguably it's a wash.) -- Visviva (talk) 21:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

text: In any event, http://phoebesnow.com currently says "1950-2011".  -- Visviva (talk) 22:08, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
