Fair use rationale for Image:Onroadagain45.jpg edit

 

Image:Onroadagain45.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cover versions? edit

Katie Melua's does just what a cover should: changes things enough to make it new and fresh, while still recalling the original. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.248.252 (talk) 03:12, 20 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

LOL Katie you've got too much time on your hands...trolling Wikipedia and praising yourself! 217.233.189.246 (talk) 07:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Spirit in the Sky edit

Would Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” have been influenced by this song? They’re similar, though “Spirit” goes E-A-G instead of E-G-A. Felicity4711 (talk) 05:59, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Refs indicate that both (and "La Grange") are derived from John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen'".[1] They don't say how much Greenbaum specifically got from OTRA. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:05, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

What's the done? edit

The "hypnotic done" is mentioned, under the instrumentation section, but it's not explained what is making that drone. CrickedBack (talk) 07:20, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Two tidbits edit

Maybe worth mentioning that "Big Road Blues" was part of the very first Canned Heat demos - see Vintage (Canned Heat album) - and that the song opens and closes with flageolet notes on the guitar. Jules TH 16 (talk) 18:09, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
