Instruments

Like the tag states, the "Instruments" section is written like an advertisement. Most of the information is cited with reliable sources but it doesn't hold much weight and I don't think it should be included in the article. It simply promotes Beckenstein and doesn't contain any substantial information. Let me know your thoughts whether or not the section should keep otherwise I think I may remove the "Instruments" section. Meatsgains (talk) 19:36, 31 December 2013 (UTC) As a saxophone player, I find the brand name references to be very useful. If it matters that Dylan pulled out a Stratocaster and shocked everyone, it is important what saxes and reeds Beckenstein uses.[reply]

Someone who knows Jay must know how to write

"Born to a Jewish family". Christ, was he a puppy born to a stray adopted by the Seinfelds, who then named him 'Beckenstein' for the LULZ? Please, someone who is somewhat literate and who knows Jay and Spyro Gyro, fix this shitty entry on a great musician.
