Cut from article:

In the summer of 2005 Edgar Winter will be performing at Retrofest in Chilliwack, British Columbia, with Rick Derringer, Blue Öyster Cult, Jefferson Starship, and It's A Beautiful Day.

Did it happen? If so it should be put in the past tense.

[edit] What are the odds?

I wonder what the odds are that two brothers would both be albinos. Presumably less than would otherwise be implied by the prevalence of albinism in the general population, since Edgar and Johnny's parents obviously carried the necessary genes, but I'd still think it would be rather rare. Do they have any siblings who aren't albinos? Could be interesting tidbits to add to the albinism mention. Jerry Kindall 05:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Parents who both carry the gene for albinism types that affect the skin, hair and eyes, the odds of having a child with albinism is 1 in 4 for every birth. The albinism article covers this in depth, not sure if any additional information is needed within the articles about Edgar or Johnny Winter. Allyddin Sane 11:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I want to know if their parents or anyone else in their family are albinos?--Hailey 23:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks to whoever added the source on the scientology statement. Way to go!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.135.169 (talk • contribs)

The author of the part of the article pertaining to scientology not only writes in the first person he also criticizes both scientology and edgar winter and expresses personal beliefs that are both informal and entirely uninteresting (no one cares what some editor thinks about scientologists.) Therefore i propose deleting the statement of personal beliefs only and nothing else as long as proper citation is provided.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.74.237.179 (talk • contribs)

Umm.... huh? I don't know which user you're referring to, but either way all that's important is what's in the article, and nothing in the Scientology section of it that I can see violates NPOV. It should be noted that there has been some vandalism of that section recently (see previous edits from anonymous IPs), but right now it looks fine to me. If you disagree kindly quote some of the offending sentences. Thanks. Fractalchez 04:31, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I will second the motion by Fractalchez and summarily reject your proposal. The article properly cites its sources for the claims that are made. Vivaldi (talk) 01:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Edgar Winter Group?

The Edgar Winter Group article really has nothing to add to this one. Why not just add a REDIRECT or something? If people agree then I'll go ahead and do it. Sillywebby 11:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Edgar Winter and Meat Loaf

Edgar Winter is also listed in the credits for Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell...Edgar played the saxophone.

[edit] Lawsuit against DC Comics

Someone may want to add this information to the article.--Robbstrd 22:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
