just had to edit it, someone changed the name of Randy's band to be sort of an "insult", and his band is known as the Randy Bachman Band, not Randy Bachman's Rock Thing.

Honourary v Honorary

Shouldn't it be honourary (not honorary), since Bachman is Canadian and the only nation (that I know of at least) that spells it "honorary" is the United States, while just about every other english nation spells it with "u"?

There is no word spelled "honourary". Although the root is "honor" in the U.S. and "honour" in Canada, honorary is spelled without the "u" in both places.

Honorary at all?

Is it really appropriate to include an honorary degree in the initial-salad following Bachman's (or anyone's) name? Personally, I think not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 13:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tal Bachman

Should this page make mention of his son, Tal Bachman, famed for his song "She's so High"? Vampus 10:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since Tal Bachman is independently notable enough to have an article of his own, I think the answer is "yes." 129.97.79.144 22:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still a Mormon

I don't exactly have any solid proof other than a post deep within Bachman's forums (in a post by Randy's wife) that Tal got tired of Mormonism, shared his feelings on the matter, and most of the family broke off from the religion, including Randy and his wife. Not exactly the best source of information, I know.

However, if you notice, there's no longer any mention of Mormonism on his website's biography, whereas there used to be about 6-12 months ago.

---If there's no proof, then shouldn't it stay stating the fact that he IS a mormon, since that is the most solid proof we got.  There isn't even any references to where the supossed info is from.

Jewish descent?

More information needed

I don't understand why the biography starts with his life in the 2000s, maybe someone can write a few sections on his early life, and career with the Guess Who and BTO.

Buy the Book - Randy Bachman, Taking Care of Business - this will take you up to 2000
