BBC article (2001)

The lengthy BBC article should probably be linked from here, definitely NOT quoted in its entirety. Please provide the article url/link as an "external link" or "reference' or "see also", and give a one- or two-sentence summary in the body of the article. Interesting info that def. belongs here but in the proper format. Bawtyshouse 02:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link I wanted to make as reference, but didn't work out the way I hoped

Here's the link that I tried to replace the dead link, but the way it came out wasn't the way that I hoped:

If anyone can show me how to do it rightly, please share any helpful advice. Thanks.Frschoonover (talk) 14:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

basic info missing

How about some basic bio info that should be out there in newspapers. Is he married> I believe he is. Does he have any children of his own? I have no clue. How about his post-BCR career as a Nurse? When I was a little kid, maybe 11, my older sister was a huge BCR fan and she had his name on one of those tartan scarves. She clipped every article from every teen magazine. Sadly, she passed away a few years back and I no longer have access to those items but many of them listed biographical info. As a founding member of BCR, he should have a larger article. He toured with them up through at least 1993, which was when I saw them in Los Angeles and did a few articles on that tour. COnsidering how popular the band was, we should at least try and get an info box and address some primary info.LiPollis (talk) 07:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
