[edit] Forest Lawn cemetery, Cypress, California

When I click the link on "Forest Lawn" in this article, I see nothing about "Cypress" anywhere in the linked article. Why is "Cypress" mentioned as part of the name of the cemetery in this article and why is Cypress, California mentioned as the cemetery location, as opposed to the location listed in the linked article on that subject?

[edit] Birthplace

aPPARENTLY, Eddie Cochran was born in Minnesota. The Oklahoma City thing was made up by the record company.

[edit] Deathplace

Chippenham, Wilts. A4. In fact it was along the M4 (built as a parallel for the A4, a Great Western motorway serving the west of England from London), where in 1998 drummer Cozy Powell was killed. Both in the month of April too. Why not end this rotten omen and close down the M4 and A4 before another tragedy! Celtmist

[edit] Trivia

There is a reference to Eddie Cochran's Gretsch guitar in the 2006 song "Hurricane Ri-ri, Boston Ma-ri" by the Japanese pop group Attack All Around. The guitar arrived in a UFO. RECnet (resource: http://www.recnet.com/saa/eddie.php)

[edit] Rated article B class

I know there is more info, but I'm not sure how detailed I should make the article. We don't need his whole history for an encyclopedia. Any suggestions? Gohiking 14:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
