Is it really true that Stevie Wonder played all the instruments on his recordings before Paul McCartney did it in 1969? Or was it a couple of years later? I can neither confirm nor deny. Can you pinpoint when it happened? Richard K. Carson 09:16, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

MTV Video

Isnt Pat Benatar's You Better Run the 2nd video to be played on MTV? --Taxidude 16:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... See the First 62 Videos aired on MTV. --Mmathu 05:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Utopia

The article says in part: "... their 1983 Oblivion, which showed a cynical side of Utopia while mimicking the rock-umentary parody, This is Spinal Tap by sporting a black cover; ..."

How could the author claim that Oblivion mimicks This is Spinal Tap, when the latter album was released a year later? -- Mmathu 05:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Liv Tyler Paternity Issue

On Liv Tyler's page, it says that she she believed Rundgren was her father until she was 9 years old; this page says she was 11 (Bebe Buell's page just indicates a nicely vague "late 80's" timeframe). Which is correct? --Xinpheld 13:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Buell's book "Rebel Heart" says that Liv met Stephen Tyler when she was 9, and that Bebe told Liv that Tyler was her father when she was 11. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by K8 fan (talk • contribs) 00:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Small Errors

1.) M. Frog was not Roger Powell in disguise but rather Jean-Yves Labat.

I have deleted that bit, as it is not correct. They are definitely two different people.K8 fan 23:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. A cruise around the Internet confirms that M Frog Labat was/is French artist Jean-Yves Labat. The best evidence is this from Rolling Stone Magazine reviewing a release called M.Frog:

M. Frog is the initial offering from a would-be French monk turned musician named Jean Yves Labat. Admittedly, France has never stood out as a major force in the rock music world, and M. Frog will do little to change this, but the album at least merits attention as a curiosity in a field rarely lacking such things. It is basically a synthesizer album, but Labat notates his musical scores not by note, but by an arrangement of multicolored squares placed side by side on a linear graph. Six full pages of this brilliant technologia are offered as inducement to sale, and they're quite neat to gawk at while listening to something else. The music itself runs the familiar gamut from synthijazz to the usual electronic mysterioso- cosmic space stuff - all of it competent but hardly innovative. If you're an electronic music freak, however, you might enjoy it, and it'll probably be in the delete sections of your record store within the year. Worth anything up to two bucks.

   --Rolling Stone Magazine, #151

This information can be found on the web site for "The Band".

2.) "The Fool" guitar was not returned to Eric Clapton. Rundgren auctioned off the guitar sometime in the early 2000's. Where it resides today is unknown. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ludrum (talk • contribs) 14:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
