Could really use a picture

Someone know more about how/why BB King dubbed him 'Wavy Gravy' at the Texas Pops Festival?

Could also use a mention of the injury that left his spine permanently damaged (all I know is that it was Chicago Police who hurt him... what was he doing? Was it involved in his activist activities?)

"World's Largest Kazoo"... anyone have a date for this gag, recording of it? anything?

Why do people call him "Boss" and vice-versa?

More quotes about wavy? from Ben and Jerry's/Ben and Jerry?Pedant

(NPOV)My goodness, could this entry possibly be any _more_ sycophantic? It's embarrassingly hagiographic. A little modulation of tone would allow Wikipedia to further maintain whatever pretense of professionalism still remains. palecur

My god, I had no idea hagiographic was a word. Props to you. -Etoile

Is it NPOV for or against Mr. Gravy?

Sycophantic means that its a little too kind to the subject.

I can't believe palecur is contesting this page's fairness. Palecur, if you have something to say that throws a different light on Wavy Gravy, please elaborate. Baseless inuendo accomplishes nothing. Your lack of specifics in your complaint do not help wikipedia either.

Let me use big words to show how smart intelligent I am. I profusely believe that the banalyzation of this page will result in the pandiculatory polemic of which we are all laconically obfuscied? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I am smrt. Carter Somerville 00:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Maybe palecur is referring specifically to the "All Access" section, which does read like a eulogy.--192.58.204.226 22:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I just cleaned up the links on this page so I would know what I was clicking on. Why is there a Country Joe & the Fish link included? I know they played at Woodstock, but so did a lot of other people. CClio333 19:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removing an ISBN

At least two users who regularly correct ISBNs on WP have been unable to find the correct ISBN for the following

• ''80s are the 60s'' ([[2002]]; RX Records; ISBN 6306057811 {{Please check ISBN|6306057811}})<!--unable to locate valid ISBN - user:Droll-->

If this is an audio recording, it most likely does not have an ISBN. I am removing the ISBN from the page. If this solution does not work for you, please advise. Keesiewonder ^talk 23:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Are you Wavy Gravy"

Is there a source for this? Also, shouldn't it be "are you wavy gravy," since "Wavy Gravy" was not yet his name, and this seems to be a question to confirm his condition/temperament? Davewho2 (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
