[edit] Links
This is a busy page for no discussion. I removed the following links because they appeared dead to me. If it is deemed not to be the case, please replace them. I also added a paragraph for The Well Tuned Piano because, well, it needs to be there. It is not great. Please improve. I will try to do research (with the possible aim of an unique article for said work) and improve myself, but it looks like it will take more than an evening's poking at the web.

- www.newmusicbox.org, the E-zine of the American Music Center comes up on google searching but both sites appear to be down "Operation timed out" is what Firefox told me.
- frontiernet.net/ appears to be an internet service provider that presumably used to host ~jngrimshaw.

I have added an attempt at a discography (compiled from several online sources) as well as the Spacemen 3 and Lou Reed items to "Influences." Cheers. Funks 00:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Latter Day Saint/Ex-Mormon?
Young is listed in the "Latter Day Saints" category, but is also listed on the Former Latter-day Saints article... I'm not a fan of list articles in general (I much prefer categories), so I've added him to the "Ex-Mormon" category... But the question is, has Young left the the LDS church? In other words, in which categroy ("Latter Day Saints" or "Ex-Mormons") should Young be listed?
Young has never formally left the Church, and all of his family members remain active in the Church, He has indicated that he still considers himself a Mormon, albeit one who does not recognize that the Church is the only path, and possibly one who is critical that the Church has not pursued its most radical impulses. A close examination of his ideas about music, in particular the constant reference to ideas about heaven, eternity, and time (Mormon cosmology is unique in that it distinguishes between "all time" and "eternity") demonstrate that Mormon thought does play an important role in his work.
