- This page is currently total crap, and was posted by a fan. I am a big fan of his, but this is borderline MTV fan chat site stuff. I don't have time right now to clean it up, or the knowledge of his background, but can someone just remove some of the stuff that we don't need, like downloading songs and celebrity friends?--Fresh 23:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeh, i agree its pretty poor. However, its late and i ate waaaay to much, so i'll do it later......
Can we get confirmation on his dating Ms. Fisk? Is that just gossip from a tabloid or has it been verifed by either of them in print. Source please.
- I saw them play in San Francisco and he talked about how he had asked her out and she said no so he wrote her a song and that didn't work. Sometime later he wrote Only You for her and that did the trick. --MrCalifornia 20:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think you mean "The Fear You Won't Fall" was the song, since "Only You" is a cover. The song he initially wrote for her was "Someone Else's Life." All this information comes from live shows - I also have attended a show where they both performed and Radin mentioned their relationship. --Cue the Strings 23:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Influences
The following is taken from the Sufjan Stevens discussion page. I agree with the statement and have added citation needed appropriatly.--Fresh 14:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
"I recognize the value in discussing musical references, but these need sources. A brief look around Wikipedia reveals a rather worrying tendency among editors of articles on musicians to include an ever-expanding list of inferences comprising artists and genres that they felt were similar. This cannot happen here.
We must recognize that musical inspiration is an extremely intangible and unverifiable animal. The most we can probably do is say things like "Critic X draws a link between artists A and B, finding that... [and here's his/her explanation]", or "In a poll, listeners agreed that Sufjan's music seemed influenced by...". If we do find some legit article which categorically states that Sufjan drew inspiration from certain genres and artists while working on the album, then perhaps it can go in the article without attribution (although certainly with a reference). Until then I'm adding a [citation needed] notice. Omphaloscope ยป talk 00:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)"
I have tried to add the following link as a citation for his songs getting a positive response amongst Scrubs' demographic. It is a thread from a board where scrubs fans have listed some of their favourite songs from the show. 'Closer' and 'Winter' have both been named as favourite songs. But when I add the link, the rest of this page seems to disappear for some reason.
