Talk:Michelle Shocked

Old comments

I have deleted a section of text copied verbatim from [1]. Text cannot be copied in this way from other web sites unless the author who wrote it provides permission to do so (for example, on this talk page) or puts a public domain disclaimer on the web page. The text can be put back if it is re-written and I recommend that it be put into a separate article on the album. RedWolf 23:24, May 22, 2004 (UTC)

I've removed the latter day saints category. There's no context, no attribution, it seems random and out of place.

She was raised LDS but is not now, so she doesn't belong in the category. Google finds much info, such as this interview excerpt. Not sure it's worth mentioning in the article. --Darksasami 07:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that does ring a bell. I think the footer link only should be included again if there's some context, and I don't think it can be put in randomly ("she was raised a Mormon") without explaining the significance. While that is a good link, I'm hesitant to include that material based on a single interview.

Short Sharp Shocked cover

The article currently states, "The front cover of her (arguably) best-known album, Short Sharp Shocked, shows her restrained by the chokehold of a San Francisco policeman in a supposedly authentic photograph of this incident. However, some indie music critics of the time observed that the style of this image showed a strong similarity to a photo that appeared on an album cover from British punk band Chaos U.K. This led some to assert that she plagiarized the concept, but the accusation was never answered nor seriously pursued."

The booklet included in the 2003 Mighty Sound re-issue of Short Sharp Shocked discusses the cover in more detail. The incident depicted in the photograph was authentic. However, Mercury Records altered the photograph to make the policeman less identifiable. (The unaltered photograph is included in the re-issue. (Could someone who has a copy of the reissue nearby verify the details and update the article?) --Heath 68.191.7.126 11:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
