[edit] All Music Guide

The second paragraph of this review is a copy-paste of William Ruhlmann's AMG review. Isn't this some sort of copyright violation?

I referenced the info and gave Ruhlmann credit. Patman2648 16:20 25 December 2005

I've put Ruhlmann's part into quotes. Without them, the paragraph is not only plagiarism, but POV.

''American Stars'n'Bars (1977) is a rock album by Neil Young, the most popular track being "Like A Hurricane". The album was produced by Neil Young and David Briggs with Tim Mulligan except "Star Of Bethlehem" by Elliot Mazer. The album cover was designed by Young's friend, the actor Dean Stockwell, and features images of Young and Malibu neighbor Bob Dylan (in drag) with faces pressed against glass.

Uh, that's NOT Bob Dylan in drag. According to Shakey, it is Connie Moskos, who, as far as I can tell, was a groupie.

[edit] Name change/page move

I moved from American Stars'n'Bars to American Stars 'N Bars. The lack of spaces seemed wrong (and had recently been changed in the opening line). The new version matches NY's official site, and how the album appeared in the main NY article and discography. -- Beardo 02:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Though maybe American Stars 'n Bars is more per Wiki style ? Whilst American Stars 'n' Bars is probably more grammatically correct. -- Beardo 05:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
