[edit] Name of article

Why is this article named "Rock and roll" and not "Rock 'n Roll"? I believe "Rock 'n Roll" is the original and faithful historic term. Netrat_msk (talk) 02:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Yesterday User:WalterWalrus3 changed the article title from Rock and roll to Rock & Roll without consultation on the grounds that, quote, "Amphersands [sic] are bosser". On the basis that that doesn't seem to me to be a reasoned decision reached through consensus, I've changed it back again. Has this been discussed here before, or is this the basis for a new discussion? Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Rest assured that YOU are correct, and did right. Sfahey (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

This article is decidedly racist. The racist tone of this article should be changed to reflect actual history instead of bias opinions.

I second that. Superracist shit, as if black haven't created a thing, evthing has been created by white. With no a reference btw.

[edit] Merge discussion

I removed the merge tag following discussion here. 86.112.217.138 (talk) 08:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC) (That was my comment - for some reason it logged me out!) Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
