T-Bone vs. T Bone

Since T Bone's preferred spelling now is without the hyphen, wouldn't it be more appropriate to make T Bone Burnett the article title with a redirect from T-Bone Burnett? Mitchell k dwyer 19:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent point -- T Bone dropped the hyphen back in the '80s. -- Donald Joseph

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) requires what is more common and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (identity) requires what T Bone himself uses. Hyacinth 08:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Narrow point of view

Coming to the article as a non-American with no prior knowledge of T Bone's career, wanting to find out all about him, it seems to have been written from a rather narrow twenty-first century point of view. Of course, I appreciate what "T Bone Burnett is an American original" is getting at, but I'd rather be given, at the outset of the article, a more bland and less starry eyed summary of the man. We are told first of his recent achievements, and then of his (more historically substantial?) achievements earlier in his career. Sorry to moan!
