[edit] Re. Introduction
Might we have a better introductory para? He is well-known as the young slide guitar wizard who came out of Beaumont with an excellent debut album, part of a million-dollar record deal with Columbia. And yes, Columbia signed him because the label's executives heard about the "Rolling Stone" article. He is known for his scorching tune on his debut album, "Dallas," sung and played with real conviction. His fame includes the way he helped Muddy Waters finally get back to making great records. These points are in the article, which is good. I just wonder whether the skin-pigment condition is important enough to make it to the first paragraph. (It is interesting, though, that he is an extremely white-skinned master of an African-American art form.) DBaldwin 18:58, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree. A stronger intro is in order. Plus, genealogical details should be moved to the main body. --Docblueson 05:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re. Discography
[edit] Live at the Scene Club
Somebody said:
[snip] the discography does not mention the ablum, "Live at the Scene Club." [snip] featuring Johnny, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Buddy Miles, most famous for Morrison's extreme intoxication and vulgar, drunken rants. Most searches on the web list it as a 1968 recording, but I have a picture disc LP that labels it as 1967. [snip]
Somebody else disputes this:
Sorry but Johnny never met Jim Morrison and [snip] is not on that recording. He did [snip] play often with Jimi Hendrix and recorded a cut with him and Steven Stills.
Snipped the above to better track the raw data related to the issue. --Docblueson 05:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re. Article Body
[edit] Language Used to Refer to Persons with Albinism
While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", most of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is most often used in a derogatory way. [snip] The above is taken from the Wiki entry for albino. [snip] Lets do it right [snip] stargill@tiscali.co.uk
Yes. Done. (Snips included mere chat and exortations.) --Docblueson 05:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re. Miscellaneous Issues
I removed some back and forth about why a show was cancelled and what Johnny is up to "right now"... not appropriate here. --Docblueson 05:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lawsuit against DC Comics
Someone may want to add this information to the article.--Robbstrd 22:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
