Deaths

Shouldn't it be mentioned that two (or three?) attendees died during the festical? --Felix Tritschler (talk) 13:43, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No that doesn't apparently matter. Water destroying the beds at the Fyre Festivel is a horrifying experience. Hippies dying from drug overdoses is enlightenment thinking. Brilliant culture enrichment and truly a contender against Western values. So lets ignore the deaths please, not important. That ruins the image which is promoted en masse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.233.42.162 (talk) 22:58, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Youngest performer at Woodstock

--Unklscrufy (talk) 18:20, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Many people believed that Michael Shrieve of Santana was the youngest performer at Woodstock because he looked young. In fact, Henry Gross of Sha Na Na was two years younger than Shrieve. This really isn't controversial. My source is an interview with Gross from last August ^[1]. It's only one of any number of sources that say the same thing. Or you could...oh, I don't know...look at their Wikipedia pages and compare their birthdates. I don't know what the fuss is about. Please stop reverting my edit.[reply]

Your source only reports what Gross claims. We need independent WP:SECONDARY sources. That's what is provided for Shrieve. In any event, please get consensus for this change instead of edit warring. Sundayclose (talk) 01:16, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
