Brandy Battery

Some good pics of Brandy Bones at Commons:Category:Whiskey Wailers. I'm not sure whether they would be appropriate here or not, since those are pictures of her playing with a different band. - Jmabel | Talk 05:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible, horrible article

This article is in terrible shape. It reads entirely as if written by the subject or someone promoting the subject. I have tagged the article and some of its claims and have removed only the very worst parts -- primarily from the lead. I fear it will take a lot of vigilance to prevent this article from turning into nothing but ad copy for the subject. I took a dull knife to it but it still needs a lot of serious work to get it anywhere near a level that is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. SQGibbon (talk) 02:30, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
