Talk:Scarlet Begonias

"Perhaps the most famous and popular version of "Scarlet Fire" occurred on May 8, 1977 at Cornell University, which features strong, heavy bass playing by Phil Lesh."

Although I have heard this version of Scarlet Fire, I strongly disagree that it is the most famous version of it. Is there something I am missing? Can someone support this? Roads01 02:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the Barton Hall show show is pretty generally recognized as one of their best/most renowned, and I think that it probably is the most famous and popular - however without facts to back it up, I think it shouldn't be there. Nor should it be replaced with the archive.org link - unless that link were to point to a place where 'many' listeners claim it is the best. I think we should leave undocumented opinion out of this portion, since it brings little value to the article. Addionne (talk) 01:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:GDmarshotel.jpg

Image:GDmarshotel.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Covers section

I reworked the covers section to be more consistent with other song articles... Addionne (talk) 16:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Addition of the "Goldwynism"

Is there a connection between Goldwyn and the Grateful Dead? Including this mention implies that this Goldwynism is the inspiration for the line in the Dead song - so if we are going to include it, we should back it up with some evidence, in my opinion. The annotated lyrics by David Dodd at UC Santa Cruz makes no mention of Goldwyn in relation to this line - however that does not mean that it is not the case: the Dead frequently put obscure lyrical references to real-life people and situations that they encountered on their travels... Anyone have any supporting/refuting info on this? -Addionne (talk) 14:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

It's not a huge deal, but I'm inclined to agree that there's no evidence that Robert Hunter was inspired by Samuel Goldwyn when he wrote those lyrics. So I would agree with removing that from the article, unless a supporting reference can be found. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 00:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll move it here, and if someone comes along who has an idea about it - please feel free to discuss it here and we can decide to put it back.  :) -Addionne (talk) 00:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

- The line "I ain't often right but I've never been wrong" appears in the bridge of Scarlet Begonias
- this is very similar to the movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn's "Goldwynism", “I’m willing to admit that I 
- may not always be right, but I am never wrong.” [[1]]

Hi, this is my first attempt at editing a Wikipedia page. I have made two additions to this page and would appreciate some constructive feedback.Bobwurst (talk) 15:04, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Bobwurst
