Mazzy Star is mentioned in this article[edit]

Mazzy Star should be in the first line of the article, no? This is the most noteable project he was involved with. I was looking for a key to the magic of Mazzy star, like "could I get the guy who produced "Fade Into You" to produce my music?"

From the looks of this article, he could be making me pancakes. ba dum bum

Private life[edit]

David Roback is a guy who is into creating music, and over the years he has had romantic relationships with several women who were his partner in romance as well as music. Which came first we shall never know, but basically he dated Suzanna Hoffs (and they played together as "The Unconscious"), then he dated Kendra and they played together as "Opal", then he started dating Kendra's friend Hope, and when Kendra found out about it she dumped him and the band. He continued along with Hope, playing under the name "Mazzy Star" and that went on for a few years, etc etc.

This is what happened with David and his art career, but because David never was a celebrity or got very famous, these facts weren't added to the public record, unlike for instance the marital statuses of Elizabeth Taylor.

My question: Does it now seem proper to put it in his Wikipedia? Or should the details of his private life not be part of it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.121.245 (talk) 05:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
