[edit] Bowdlerization

What was the change that was made in "Passionate Kisses" to produce the version that Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded? Just saying that it was bowdlerized leaves the reader up in the air. JamesMLane 12:16, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

i agree. i think both versions had the same lyrics. somebody finally changed it and removed bowdlerized so its all good now.--Alhutch 23:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Righteously.ogg

Image:Righteously.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Jackson

I removed

though clearly she will.

bcz it's OR and not that clear to me, and

It seems probable that the title city is Jackson, Louisiana, given that many of the songs on the album are clearly located in Louisiana, as are the other two cities mentioned in the song (Lafayette and Baton Rouge). It is conceivable, however, that it might be Jackson, Mississippi.

bcz it's even more OR, and probably wrong:

  1. per a Lafayette-to-Vicksburg(-or-Jackson, Miss) route, the directions show detouring from and back to US 61 in order to include Jackson, LA, and the Jackson-area zoom-in shows that detour to be over minor roads
  2. Jackson, Louisiana has 4k population, compared to Lafayette, LA 110k, Vicksburg 26k, Baton Rouge 400k, (and Jackson, MS 180k)
  3. the sequence in the song is
    1. Jackson
    2. Lafayette
    3. Baton Rouge
    4. Jackson
    5. (Break)
    6. Vicksburg
    7. Jackson
    which suits the route
    • somewhere W of Lafayette, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Vicksburg, Jackson (MS) (with the destination emphasized over the intermediate landmarks, by being mentioned first and last in the first section, and last in the second)
    but suggests no comparable logic for Jackson, LA
  4. The unique phrasing "All the way to Jackson, and use of Jackson as the title, also suggest that Jackson is the final destination (even tho Jackson, LA lies between Baton Rouge and Vicksburg).

But the question, in both cases, is not what she meant, but whether what she meant (or what people think she meant) is part of established knowledge. --Jerzy•t 09:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Removed this section from this article. As to your comment: nothing is "destroyed", the information is always available in the history if you or anyone else wants to transfer it into a song article. Having said that, I don't find personally find anything useful or encyclopedic about this section as it was; the author(s) seem to be engaging in some speculative lyrics interpretation, to what point I'm not sure. I am sure that it doesn't belong in this biographic article. If you disagree please respond here with your reasoning for keeping this type of information in this level of article.
