I didn't remove the lyrics with a self-righteous edit summary (you know the type), but I think that copyright lyrics when briefly quoted need to be set in a context of discussion, not just set out like this. --Wetman 00:26, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Partial lyrics can be quoted if properly used in the context of describing the song. However, simply dumping the lyrics into the article is a copyvio. If the article just had the lyrics, I would simply delete it but this was not the case. The lyrics no longer appear in the current revision of the article but are still in the page history. Hardly seems worth a delete/restore for one edit but it can be done if someone objects to the lyrics remaining in the page history. RedWolf 02:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Some years ago, 500 "Melissa" electric acoustic guitars were made, black, featuring the name "Melissa" on the neck. They are wonderful guitars, I myself possess number 153 ( My name, ironically, is Melissa) and it is a fantastic guitar.

I saw Robert Johnson was not linked within this article so I had to do it. Cheers all.--Themanthelegend13 03:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
