I'm not sure how I managed to revert my own hard work, but I've tried to fix it now. A resounding "wtf" on my part. I've also tried to include all the subsequent revisions. Iroll 05:24, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Please add if possible that Yoakam is of Jewish ancestry. I have heard him state this in an interview but am unsure of the particulars.

The Jewish ancestry would probably not be on the Yoakam side -- that's a German name from Alsace-Lorraine, gone through England and picked up the Y spelling. Other family names include Tibbs. Incidentally, he personally is a Christian, since 1994.

Does anyone know if he actually lived in Bakersfield at any point? --Kfreeland 05:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Political views.

Says he's a supporter, but not a member, of the Libertarian party. Should this be mentioned?170.215.105.210 05:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Did Dwight Yoakam retire? I have not heard any new singles by him since "Blame the Vain". O'Malley II 23:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Dwight hasn't retired that I know of, he just hasn't been accepted by radio of late. He did have a single after "Blame The Vain", however - it was "I Wanna Love Again", which didn't chart. TenPoundHammer 20:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

NO! NO! NO! Dwight is very much "alive" musically; he just released Dwight Sings Buck —Preceding unsigned comment added by KLynnS (talk • contribs) 23:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] roots rock rockabilly alternative country?

definitely roots rock other than that i dont know, just trying to get some discussion going —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.20.87 (talk) 00:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Painted Hero

I have this on DVD, and there's no "A". --Kay Lynn (talk) 18:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Burritos?

Anyone able to find out more about the brand of frozen breakfast burritos to which Dwight is lending his name? They're pretty tasty, but I'm curious as to what moved Dwight to put his name on them, and the biscuit company to seek his endorsement. —Robotech_Master (talk) 13:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
