[edit] Band name origin
i have removed the paragraph stating when the phrase "pretty girls make graves" was first used (in kerouac's novel the dharma bums), as i do not see how this relates to the band given that they have stated before that the name has come from a smiths song and not the novel.

Why does it matter whether or not they got it from the Smiths? It's still a Kerouac quote, so they ultimately got it from Kerouac, and should be attributed to him. --Piratejesus 03:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree that since it was Kerouac's phrase originally, he deserves the quote, and the band has to recognize that it originally comes from him. I just added which book the quote originates in because the way it was phrased it seemed like it was something he just went around saying, which is sorta morbid. Clemenjo 08:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] tour dates
Normally, Wikipedia does not include upcoming tour dates. That is not in the scope of an encyclopedia article. I will leave it there for the time being, but another editor more strict than myself may delete it. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 13:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
