Don't know how else to put this: this article is terrible. Reads like some pap put out by a local chamber of commerce, with a few dollops of goo-goo-eyed fandom added for good measure. Needs to be cleaned up. By the way, I've lived in both Tucson and Flagstaff and know some of the musicians listed: in fact, I was surprised to see some of them described as being "produced" in Flagstaff, when it's unlikely that anyone beyond Williams or Grand Canyon has ever heard of them.

Also, though I agree with the sentiments expressed about Katie Lee's activism with regard to the GodDamning of the Colorado River (and boy, is that good old girl ever active!), that kind of editorializing really doesn't belong here (or there, I should say; it does belong here).

Oh, and furthermore: why does Katie Lee link to Billy Joel? --66.52.186.153 09:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MRxUGLY???

OK, I give up; who the hell is MRxUGLY? And do they, or it, really belong in this list? --ILike2BeAnonymous 19:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Alright, I see the blue link now; I guess that means they really do exist, huh? --ILike2BeAnonymous 00:49, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't be so sure. Seems that was speedy deleted [1]. -MrFizyx 08:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] killing the list

I think the article would be better off without the list of musicians. I'm replacing this with links to categories: see also:

Feel free to protest. -MrFizyx 08:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, now it would be good if someone went through the list in this edit and made sure that these same people are also in the correct categories. -MrFizyx 08:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
