The article has a boat-load of rubbish that needs to be dumped. To wit: "He was generally regarded as a brilliant musician who was hardworking and willing to experiment. In addition to his formal study of music within the division of AMDDFP (Art Music Drama Dance Film and Photography) he collaborated with a variety of people, from distinguished visiting professors to local artists. After graduating from Bard, Chandler's professional career took off. Later tours with Cyndi Lauper and Lou Reed reflected his importance in the world of pop art." Everything bolded is weasel words and/or hyperbole, and needs to go. WP is not a venue for free PR. If a claim can't be corroborated with a published second-party source, it must be removed. If it isn't cleaned up by a more sympathetic editor within a few weeks, I'll do it myself. Occam's Shaver (talk) 08:12, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
