Tone
[edit]I have flagged this article for tone. The language is not what we expect in an encyclopedia article. Some examples:
- "radio broadcaster known for being a disc jockey and talk-show host": why being known? he is a "broadcaster, disk jockey, and talk show host" would suffice
- "lasting 13 months, three weeks, four days and 37 minutes before quickly . . ." why the precision? This appears to be a direct quote, and must be marked as such.
- "career began to skyrocket" hyperbole
- "gaffing wowed audiences" slang, hyperbole, ad-speak
- "young upstart"
- "magical pairing" really??
- "no one out hustled"
- "was quickly snatched up"
- "quickly capitpolting" misspelled, and poor analogy
- " star power" and how is that measured?

Images
[edit]The author of this article claims that the image of the "buried alive" promotion from 1989 is "own work", and I do not see an adequate release for use of the 1984 "in from the cold" advertisement. Kablammo (talk) 01:33, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- @KingBoreasVI:, can you address these concerns? Kablammo (talk) 01:45, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
