Sonic Youth is a seminal American alternative rock group. Formed in New York City in 1981 within the No Wave art and music scene, they have outlasted many of their contemporaries. Their distinctive sound relies heavily on the use of alternate guitar tunings as well as using objects such as drumsticks and screwdrivers to strike the stings and placing such objects into the strings against the fretboard.

Talk:U2

Snclfe:

The religious and Iraq angles are interesting but should not be the primary focus of an article about U2, it turns the article into a polemic! Someone, not me, should put some time into this article.

:Bono is praised for his activism more than his music. I wonder if his activism is really doing the Lord's work, in roughly the same way as I question Jimmy Carter's "work" on [[human rights]] and [[democracy]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 15:04, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

::Just as I don't judge Bush's religious motives I also don't question Bono's or Carter's as I feel neither of us is qualified to do so. Regardless this article is about U2 not Bono and U2's primary activity is music not politics. --[[User:TimB|TimB]] 17:00, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

:::What early songs supported the IRA? The band in general and Bono in particular is very anti-IRA. One early song was Mothers of the Disappeared (from Joshua Tree?), which is critical of the IRA. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 14:23, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

The claim "In the 1980's Adam Clayton dated the late supermodel Anna Nicole Smith" troubles me. The primary reasons I doubt it to be true are:
# Anna Nicole Smith was married to her first husband in 1985 at the age of 17 and divorced in 1993.
# She began her relationship with billionaire J Howard Marshall in 1991
# She didn't gain notoriety until she appeared in Playboy magazine and ads for Guess in 1992/1993.

In searching online, I find no other reference to them being together.

It's much easier to prove something is true than that something is false. What's the procedure for deleting a dubious entry? Is there a set period of time for soliciting citation prior to deletion?
