Talk:Book of Love (band)

References

I added a (scholarly) reference that covers some of this, but by no means all of it. I haven't gone through and dealt with indicating inline what can be attributed to that source because, frankly, it's not a topic I'm all that interested in, but if someone does work on properly referencing this, you should definitely get hold of the Weisbard piece and cite what can be cited from there. - Jmabel | Talk 06:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Capitalization of the Band's Name

According to the band's own website, http://www.bookoflovemusic.com , the band's name is Book Of Love, not Book of Love. I'm hesitant to make the necessary change, specifically to the name of the page, as I am uncertain of the ramifications of such a change. - My Dog Is Bart (talk) 16:45, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

This is one damn lengthy, excessively detail-oriented page...

For a band that probably had 8 or 9 actual notable minutes out of their allotted 15. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.73.228 (talk) 07:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Relevance issue

The paragraph that reads as follows is unnecessary and lacks relevance:

"In 1987, Philadelphia based satirical punk rock band The Dead Milkmen released a single ironically titled "Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance To Anything)", which hurled insults about the fans of then current popular club artists, calling them "pathetic", "art fags", "boring bisexuals", and "Danceteria types". Book of Love was specifically named alongside other bands The Smiths, Depeche Mode, and Public Image Ltd. with the line,"you'll dance to anything by Book of Love". The end of the song effectively lumped the bands together as "a bunch of stupid Europeans who come over here with their big hairdos intent on taking our money instead of giving your cash, where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself."[28]"

A quick search on the two bands' names turns up only the video and this Wiki reference, making this a circular endorsement. There seems to be little ongoing evidence that the parody affected BoL in any way.
