I think all the information that I changed should be in the history. Seemed like ole Taj's page could use some punching up. :)

[edit] Born 1940 or 1942?
What's about the birth year? It has been flipping between 1940 and 1942 several times. Is there a motivation, or will it flip again? --LA2 10:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
Anyone mind helping me edit in the photo of him I uploaded? the filename is tajmahalblues.jpg When I try inserting it it looks pretty bad, considering I'm a novice, have at it folks.
[edit] Stones?
"Cooder and Taj are most remembered, however, for their performance in 1968 on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus." I would argue that Taj is most remembered for his own recordings. Surely, most people are unaware of his former connection to the Rolling Stones, and Cooder is much better known for the film and CD "Buena Vista Social Club." For both of them, the Stones connection is an important part of their history, but it was almost forty years ago, and is pretty obscure to the general public.
- Absolutely. I've known about Taj since I was wee lad, but I've never heard of his Rock and Roll Circus connection. Jake b 03:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- First of all, I own the Rolling Stone Rock and Roll Circus on DVD, and Taj is not even that good in it. That event may have brought him into the spotlight (I'm not saying it did, I'm not sure), but it was also a near-debut performance for Jethro Tull. Does anyone want to say that Jethro Tull is now "most remembered for their performance on the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus"? I thought not. Also, Ry Cooder did *not* play that event -- at least, he isn't on the DVD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.139.24.117 (talk) 05:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] External link...
What's up with the cheesy fake external link? Should be removed I think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.139.24.117 (talk) 05:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
Oops--I take it back. Cheesy though it may be, it looks like that webpage is actually official.
