Background notes

edit

Mother Bonnie, father Paul, sisters Jennifer and Nicole [1] Father probably CPA [2] Also probably this 58-year-old runner (since Robert's YouTube shows him running, too, and 58 is about the right age): [3] Above feels a bit stalkerish to include in the article... though the fact dad's a CPA, which is currently OR, could be added if a third-party confirms. Also, this video [4] reveals that the "E" in Robert CE DeLong stands for Edward. One more video interview (nothing to harvest at this time, though if an album page is created, there's good stuff) here.[5] Floatjon (talk) 07:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

More stuff

edit

Nowhere to put this yet, but other factoids I keep stumbling across:

  • MTV Artist to Watch for 2013
  • Fan club known as Tribe of Orphans -- might have also been his group of friends before he hit it big
  • Orange "X" is kind of his signature icon, with orange face-painted zigzags on his left cheek (and free facepainting at concerts) -- not sure which of many sources I saw this in.

Also, details on his stage setup at [6] Floatjon (talk) 07:20, 5 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
