I thought he took his name from a Viz character? pomegranate 02:53, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
Actually the inspiration for his name came from the cartoon series 'Sam and the magic ball' because the main character Sam was drawn very badly!

[edit] Songs With Links
While Badly Drawn Boy's good and all that, do all his songs deserve the links they have, all currently inactive but I presume with the idea that someone's going to actually creates pages for each single - I don't think any have been a big enough hit to be culturally important - unlike his albums, which have all been culturally important. But, maybe some BDB fan would object to this, so I've not changed it. Plinthnick 00:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- They (the singles wikilinks) are now removed, I notice. Derek R Bullamore 19:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] =========
Shouldn't someone mention the Taja Sevelle incident?
- What Taja Sevelle incident ?!? Derek R Bullamore 19:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Boss
The way that sentence in the trivia is written - "self-confessed" Springsteen fan - makes it sound as if that's something he should be ashamed of! Willnz0 22:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
He was born in 1969, yet there's a link at the bottom for 1970's births.
[edit] Bolton, or Dunstable
Someone has today changed BDB's city of origin from Dunstable to Bolton. Not being an expert, I don't know which is correct - but have made the b in Bolton a capital. Please note that it wasn't my original change, and if it's wrong then feel free to revert. Willnz0 19:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sell-out
What a sell-out! Posing for Rolling Stone (cleaning up his grimy appearance), allowing his songs to be put into Hummer commercials? Badly Drawn Boy sucks and is getting worse.
