incomprehensible passage

Quote from the start of 2nd paragraph of "Musical career" section:

In 1992, Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was put into the studio to record a single for a Pauly Shore vehicle entitled "Encino Man" called "You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come"

What's a "vehicle"?
--Jerome Potts 07:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, that song was made by Neil for the movie Encino Man, where Shore appears (I recall seeing the videoclip some time ago). However, the lead roles were played by Brendan Fraser and Sean Astin, who are higher-profile actors than Shore, so the mention to him and him only is somewhat weird. As to the "vehicle" thing, I have no idea - I'll switch it with "movie" right away. Phaedriel - 15:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A "vehicle" in this context is usually a project that is specific to an individual that will further their career. This movie was a Pauly Shore "vehicle" in-so-far that it brought large scale attention to Pauly Shore by cashing in on his "schtick" from MTV. It was this movie that made him a "star". And at the time of Encino Man, Shore was higher-profile than Fraser (who only did a couple of bit parts prior to Encino Man) and Astin (known primarily for Goonies and Toy Soldiers). 71.114.75.194 23:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Off Topic

"There was a mystery for many years leading to some speculation as to what Jackson was talking about in the song. Some say he was talking about his former mentor Diana Ross, whom he had had a crush on as a child and others thought he was talking about groupies. Quincy Jones later confirmed that it was about groupies on an interview from the special edition of Bad."

- This section seems like it belongs in a completely different article, it has little to do with Steve Stevens other than the fact that he played guitar on the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.71.1.64 (talk) 00:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biography?

The flag calls this a biographical article, byt there's almost nothing really biographical about it: it's almost completely a discography. Surely there's information out there about this modern person's school, parents, etc..... --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:36, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
