Talk:O Superman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed the reference to the lyrics appearing "prophetic". She mentions planes in a song in 1981, and then at some point within the next 20 years or so, something happens that involves planes. That's a pretty weak case for being "prophetic". --Bonalaw 09:45, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Some Critics Question"?

I'm curious why the statement about Iran-Contra needs to be stated as opinion rather than fact. Iran contra was not something that happened in 1981 so the statement is false. The quote from Anderson has a cite, so I'm surpised "Citation needed" has been added. Please let me know how the prior statement could be construed as POV. --Myke Cuthbert 22:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Since no one responded to this question, I have removed the "wiggle-statement." --Myke Cuthbert 02:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't even notice this paragraph had been added until just now. I'm going to do you one better; if I can't find confirmation that Laurie actually made this statement (the Australian magazine could have misquoted her, or paraphrased her) I might remove the entire paragraph, unless someone can cite perhaps an audio interview or another magazine in which she made the erroneous claim. 23skidoo 13:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "song from 1981"

Laurie was performing this song long before 1981, point and case, the "Word of Mouth" recording put out on Crown Point Press and some other private recordings going around from before then. Loscha

If we can nail down a date, let's change it accordingly. We know Laurie was doing songs from "America on the Move" (aka United States) as early as 1978 (ref. The Nova Convention). 23skidoo 02:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
