Talk:Étienne de Boré

message: I rewrote the little sketch based mainly on Kendall, with sidewise glances at the New Orleans Public Library page and at Grace King. I mention it because some text I lifted verbatim from Kendall: 1922 and in the public domain, so no need for the zealous to undo it as a copyvio.
These New Orleans Public Library biographical sketches by the way are loaded with all kinds of mistakes; not only many typos but other,more serious errors. For example, the Boré bio has him born in 1740, and becoming mayor in 1803 when he was in his fiftieth year. (He is then stated to have died in 1820 when he was "eight" years old; someone's Y key didn't work, I guess.)
The birthdate/age at assuming the mayoralty problem I haven't yet managed to solve. Kendall is the source of the "fiftieth year", but gives no birthdate. Find-A‑Grave gives Dec. 27, 1841, as do other websites: the ultimate source seems to be Biographical and Historical Memoires of Louisiana (vol. 2), pp476‑477, Goodspeed Publishing Company, Chicago, 1892, a poorly scanned text of which, amalgamated with commentary in such a way unfortunately that they can't be untangled, can be found here.

Talk:Disco Volante (Mr. Bungle album)

message: Why does this article contradict itself? it say "nothing" is not the last section of "merry go bye bye" but then lists it as such in the tracklisting. (fixed)
------
Why is the track after Carry Stress in the Jaw supposedly "hidden"? If you just play the album as usual you'll hear it, and it's not even the final track.
-The secret track is known as "Secret Song", and was only a secret on the vinyl release (a groove in the record only accessible by dropping the needle in the correct place).  
-----
Wasn't "Disco Volante" also the name of a villain's boat in "Octopussy"?
