[edit] The Real Bob Moore
Are we sure this Bob Moore is not R. Stevie's dad and Scotty Moore the one who gets mistaken for him? If not then where's the real Bob Moore? Flowerparty 7 July 2005 18:37 (UTC)
Nashville session bassist Bob Loyce Moore is most definitely Robert Steven Moore's father.
[edit] Vanity Page
Take a look at the wording -- this is all vanity.
Correction: This page contains information and descriptions provided by others. R. Stevie Moore does have a large cult following and he has been reviewed in myriad publications. It is not vanity. Kolsiewicz 19:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia "One of the major aspects of fancruft articles is that they tend to focus entirely on their subject's fictional relevance, as opposed to their place in the real world." I ask you? Does this sound like the condition of R. Stevie Moore? If so, "hold the rag next to your face, for now is the time for your tears."
The "condition" of R. Stevie Moore is that he has been a musician and recording artist for nearly forty years. His story including his influence on other musicians has been referenced in international books, newspapers and many online articles and discussion groups because he was a pioneering home-recording artist who began to self-release his music in the 1970's. His prolific work is also famous since his album-length releases (cassettes and CDs)number around 400. He also was a radio dj on WFMU in East Orange, NJ, a famous alternative radio station. Archives of his shows are on wfmu.org. Finally, a simple Google or Yahoo search of R. Stevie Moore's name will dispel any doubts that he is "fictional" and he currently runs his own website where he sells his music. Kolsiewicz 6/13/2007
I hear you, man. I agree. I think that definition from Wikipedia is a bit lame. Of course he's 'real'. I mean, come on. Does it take a consensus to make something 'real'. That's bent! I appreciate R. Stevie Moore. He seems like a cool cat. If Wikipedia wants to attack the right for a page about him to exist here, I just ask "Why?" The article tells about R. Stevie, it's glowing at times. But, you know, check out his stuff and see if it ain't true. It's just some stuff man, you listen to it and watch it, is all. You might like it, might not...but it's no big sweat either way. Right?
Actually, Wikipedia says "Biographies of living people should be written responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. While a strategy of eventualism may apply to other subject areas, badly written biographies of living persons should be stubbed or deleted." I guess somebody ought to pare this article down, shape it up. Otherwise, it'll get axed. Keep the tone level, dude. They'll let you keep the page if you change it a little, it seems. Whoever made this should do it.
I have a question. It's clear that R. Stevie Moore can play the guitar well, but, man, in many of his videos when he's playing acoustic solo...well...it don't sound so hot. I mean, the cat's got a lot of 'produced' music, it's true. But, come on, why don't he pull out the stops more and rip up the acoustic? (I don't mean flashy, either.) And, like he's been on Uncle Floyd a lot, but it's mostly lip sync and stuff, it seems. I think people who'd dig the cat's music don't like that too good, cappice! They want to hear feedback, and fingers sliding on the strings, creaking piano stools, oddly struck chords. Live, tight-rope type stuff. I mean, no offense to Derek Bailey or the later work of John Fahey, but this stuff was way out, and cool...and frankly speaking, these two cats get more props than r. stevie, in some circles. I guess it don't matter. Plenty of folks is doing there own way, and they'll be plenty more. That's the sweet thing...anybody who wants to can make they own music themselves...really rare and fine. Don't need no props for that...matter of fact, props might be a hindrance.
Anyway, I tried to improve this article by making it more 'neutral' and factual. The subject is music, after all. Anyway, maybe this one'll make it.
Why is the first paragrpah of this bio about Bob Moore, Stevie's father? Is this important to his story, the people his father is famous for playing with? DELETE IT.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.143.223.18 (talk • contribs).
