[edit] Biographical information and trivia section
Added more biographical information; created a "trivia" section; added external link.
[edit] The Range/Grateful Dead
I've tried very hard to provide relevant details in THE RANGE section about Bruce's collaboration with the Dead (which seems to be an ongoing controversy on THE GRATEFUL DEAD Wikipedia page). I also feel that Bruce's own opting to focus on his solo work (having been invited by Lesh and Garcia in 1990 to be a full time member) suggests that the Dead role in the initial paragraph should be minimized, as I have attempted to do...the details provided as accurately as possible later. There are more important things about Hornsby than his role in the Dead, although they certainly serve as an important influence (one among many). If citations are needed for my additions (perhaps I am less-adept at Wiki than others), that is fine, but my additions strive towards truth and are well-informed. Taking quotes out of context (i.e., "most of the time sit in player" for 1990-92, when Bruce played EVERY show with them for those dates...although he evidently ought not to be called a "member" of the band) is not helping to improve this page. Controversies within the Dead family about how Hornsby should be classified SHOULD NOT become part of Hornsby's page. Edits like the recent ones by Hu12 are uninformed and are making the page less-accurate...just because there is a citation doesn't make the information definitive or correct. Educate yourself before removing edits, because it is very frustrating to have to add them back...
[edit] Regarding image request
I've been attempting to add images to this page for weeks. All of them, for one reason or another, have been immediately contested and removed. I wish anyone who is brave enough, or who has enough time to deal with the anti-Image-Upload Wikipedia Inquisition, best of luck in finding images for upload. BoaTeeth 02:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

- The images should be here to stay. Snidleysnide 22:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
That's good to hear. Good for you. BoaTeeth 02:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
