Cowboy Junkies did not take their name from the Townes Van Zandt song; Van Zandt wrote the song especially for them several years after they coined the name. Bearcat 06:21, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

For extra confirmation, the first Townes Van Zandt album ever to include his own rendition of the song, No Deeper Blue, was released in 1994. So unless somebody would like to propose that Michael Timmins is psychic, the band's choice of name can't possibly have been influenced by a song that Van Zandt never recorded or released until ten years after the band chose their name.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Timmins lg.jpg

Image:Timmins lg.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
