Talk:The Mentors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group Members needs to be updated massively. Also what was Jeff Dahl's stage name, as I am unable to verify it at this time?
Also, it may be mentionable to include info on the "Church Of El Duce". Here's a link to the Church Of El Duce's Website if someone wishes to add this to the article. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure if I should: http://www.churchofelduce.com/main.htm

Although I do not know his real name, the new singer for the band goes by the monicker "El Rapo". Brokenbones 03:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)brokenbones

[edit] chronic, acute alcoholism
This is impossible: "chronic, acute alcoholism".Spearhead 18:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed; it's an oxymoron. An illness can only be one or the other, but not both. Changed to simply read "alcoholism" for now. 82.2.148.214 20:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alcoholism...
Should the fact that El Duce was also a chronic meth user be included? I mention this because this was a widely accepted fact in the venues he frequented. user:jerry.mills
- It's hard to wrap my head around El Duce as a meth-head. He's hard to write about, though, because he belonged to an underground culture that doesn't write the history books--are there any verifiable sources that discuss his use of meth? It's got be more than a widely accepted fact among hangers-outers, because public interpretation of personnas are not verifiable sources, and often grossly inaccurate. I stuck with the verifiable for my own additions to this page, although I don't think they cover the full story well--which may be what you're considering, is some part of the story missing. I don't know if others would consider it important to know he used meth, if, indeed, he did.
- I actually would have called him a chronic acute alcoholic, at least in the beginning. Technically it's an oxymoron, but whoever posted that probably used "chronic acute" from personal experience with a younger El Duce.
- Pretty good page. Nice to see there is a Mentors page and interested writers in Wikipedia. Maybe today's underground culture won't disappear. KP Botany 19:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The inevitable Matt Frewer connection
The Mentors song "Four F Club" was used in the Max Headroom porn-parody Maxine (with Porsche Lynn as "Maxine Bedroom"). So the distance to Kevin Bacon cannot be much farther. Asat 11:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Get up and die82.jpg
Image:Get up and die82.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 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.
