Whose daughter? Rothorpe (talk) 01:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops sorry, Jerry Moss's daughter. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 03:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Next question: what's the relevance of Riot on Sunset Strip? Rothorpe (talk) 14:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The source I got the information from is the book Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood, so its a book about the hippies who rioted on sunset strip (which is a pretty famous event.) Most of the book discusses hippy culture and the previously mentioned riot, but it does mention "Electricity"in this sentence: "'Abba Zaba', 'Zig Zag Wanderer', and 'Electricity' are not standard blues workouts by any stretch of imagination" If you think that's not directly about the song, feel free to delete the information.

The link to Riot on Sunset Strip is to a film, which doesn't seem to have any connection to the book. So it seems you should remove the link and provide a ref for the book. Rothorpe (talk) 16:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 16:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, cheers. Rothorpe (talk) 16:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1967 incident

[edit]

The main Beefheart article says "then walked off the 10 ft (3.0 m) stage and landed on manager Bob Krasnow" whereas this has him landing on his face in the grass. I guess two conflicting sources perhaps - but should we have both here ? -- Beardo (talk) 00:32, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
