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 Wikipedia articles 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.

References[edit]

Jefferson Airplane[edit]

Why no mention of Jefferson Airplane covering "Other Side of This Life"? They played it at most of their shows between 1965 and 1970 and it also appeared on their 1969 live album, Bless Its Pointed Little Head. Sure it wasn't famous like "Everybody's Talkin", but still notable I think. JoeD80 (talk) 18:13, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know. There used to be list of Neil songs covered by other artists that was deleted some time ago. That song was there, and Jefferson Airplane and The Youngbloods were among those listed as performing it. I have no idea why that list was deleted, and the Joni Mitchell reference kept ;-) Modal Jig (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that fits in with calling him a "folk singer." Other Side was a showcase for Jack's Ygdrasill bass and rocked like nothing any damn folkie ever did. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2014 (UTC)Will in New Haven65.79.173.135 (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

I am almost certain that this is a picture of Pete Seeger.

Lounge Lizard-Kng[edit]

One statement asserted that he was the first owner of the "Cafe Wha" music lounge in Greenwich Village, New York City. As owner\MC, he gave Bob Dylan his first gig. The Wiki article should elaborate on this since, "The Wha" is still influential for up-and-coming performers! In this, fre Neil was an exceedingly semminal force in late 20th Century music. Hell, wonder why he never hooked up with either Laura Nyro, nor Jackie Deshannon, since these two great singer-songwriters were also ignored by the pop music moguls? --24.46.103.28 (talk) 08:03, 28 May 2011 (UTC)Veryverser[reply]

Primarily known for other people's covers[edit]

The article suggests that his work is known through other musician's performances, but lists hardly any examples. If he's only known for 2-3 songs, it would be more accurate to say that (e.g.)...he's known for 2-3 songs (particularly Everybody's Talking, etc.).76.199.139.50 (talk) 08:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jefferson Airplane and Pooneil[edit]

I read elsewhere that Pooneil was a reference to Fred Neil. Can anyone verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.102.248 (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Common knowledge for over 40 years. Modal Jig (talk) 12:17, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Geary Girl"[edit]

Any idea what this is? I have a guess but no evidence. Thmazing (talk) 23:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fred Neil album[edit]

my copy says copyright 1966 Coconut Grove Music, not 1967. This is stated correctly in the discography, but not in the article proper that says 1967. 2600:1700:BEF0:1BB0:A846:68FB:BE96:4CD1 (talk) 23:01, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
