Burning Man event

I have been asked, as an uninvolved admin, to look at this addition:

Since 2004, Aoxomoxoa has been the chosen name for a theme camp in Black Rock City, Nevada, during the Burning Man event.

In my view this should stay out since it is ~~not directly about the album~~ too trivial. In addition it is unsourced though this can be fixed. ~~No doubt, 'Aoxomoxoa' will have been attached to a number of things but such miscellaneous/trivia facts are generally not appropriate in articles.~~ I notice that there has been an edit war over this wording. Concerns about this clause should be discussed here, in order to reach consensus . TerriersFan (talk) 19:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in agreement, at least somewhat, that the Burning Man camp should be left out. In general it's okay to have notable, major, or significant pop cultural references included in articles -- see Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content. But to me, this one seems a bit on the minor side, although I'm guessing the camp itself is very fun and worthwhile. If other editors disagree I'd be open to further discussion. — Mudwater^(Talk) 19:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your comments. I agree. Rothorpe (talk) 22:31, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point; I have fixed my comment. TerriersFan (talk) 22:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We ate [the] Acid

This has been my favorite album cover for about 20 years.

The only I record I keep with me at all times is a copy of "Aoxomoxoa" from a Haight and Ashbury used record store I purchased in 2002 for $10.

This is the first time I have heard of the ambigram, and I have to admit, I don't see it. I see "ate" because it is written that way. I don't see how the GR could be read as WE.

I think Griffin would have done a better job if he wanted that message to be conveyed.

Just an opinion I suppose, but I have studied this album and found many more interesting things which are not mentioned here. Not sure that qualifies me as an expert? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.38.138 (talk) 02:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Debbie" back-up singer

The back-up singer credited as "Debbie" is "Debbie Hutchins" (now "Debbie Sipes") still performing as one-half of the Folkadelic Duo 'Good Medicine.' I know that she performed on 'Mountains of the Moon'; I don't know if she performed on any of the other songs.

Pigpen

There is some debate over whether Pigpen actually played on the album or not - some sources say he didn't (e.g. the FAQ book, which says that Bob Weir hardly played on the album, but in truth he is evidently on most of the songs where there are two guitar parts) while other sources suggest that he did play on "Aoxomoxoa", since an organ part in an album review is attributed to him, not TC. Which is correct?

Found the source that suggests Pigpen did indeed play on the album. ^[1]

release date

I wanted to note that the stated release date of June 20, 1969 is too late. It was reviewed in the June 7 issue of Billboard, which went on-sale May 31. Billboard did NOT review unreleased product. It made their bestselling album chart in the June 21 issue, which was published June 14. PatConolly (talk) 05:31, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

aoxomoxoa is a development of oxomoxo

x is a kiss

o is a hug

and the m in the middle is the closed breath, the hum of happiness

This I knew as a teenager in the 1960s e.v.

a is the open breath, inspiration and aspiration

o is the open mouth

swalk is sealed with a loving kiss, of course. But it is not a palindrome.

Regards,
