Talk:The Mentors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group Members needs to be updated massively. Also what was Jeff Dahl's stage name, as I am unable to verify it at this time?

Also, it may be mentionable to include info on the "Church Of El Duce". Here's a link to the Church Of El Duce's Website if someone wishes to add this to the article. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure if I should: http://www.churchofelduce.com/main.htm

Although I do not know his real name, the new singer for the band goes by the monicker "El Rapo". Brokenbones 03:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)brokenbones

[edit] chronic, acute alcoholism

This is impossible: "chronic, acute alcoholism".Spearhead 18:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed; it's an oxymoron. An illness can only be one or the other, but not both. Changed to simply read "alcoholism" for now. 82.2.148.214 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alcoholism...

Should the fact that El Duce was also a chronic meth user be included? I mention this because this was a widely accepted fact in the venues he frequented. user:jerry.mills

It's hard to wrap my head around El Duce as a meth-head. He's hard to write about, though, because he belonged to an underground culture that doesn't write the history books--are there any verifiable sources that discuss his use of meth? It's got be more than a widely accepted fact among hangers-outers, because public interpretation of personnas are not verifiable sources, and often grossly inaccurate. I stuck with the verifiable for my own additions to this page, although I don't think they cover the full story well--which may be what you're considering, is some part of the story missing. I don't know if others would consider it important to know he used meth, if, indeed, he did.
I actually would have called him a chronic acute alcoholic, at least in the beginning. Technically it's an oxymoron, but whoever posted that probably used "chronic acute" from personal experience with a younger El Duce.
Pretty good page. Nice to see there is a Mentors page and interested writers in Wikipedia. Maybe today's underground culture won't disappear. KP Botany 19:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
