Doo Wop
"they could not have been intimidating because they sang Doo Wop songs". Doo Wop was to 1950s youth culture what hip-hop has been to more recent generations ; it was associated with African-American street culture. The author of the original article clearly lacks historical context. Prairie Dog

Naval Academy
John Phillips was accepted to and attended the United States Naval Academy, but did not graduate, leaving to pursue his beatnik music lifestyle. Some say that the song "California Dreamin'" was inspired by his stay at the Naval Academy, and him missing "LA." --66.74.77.102
- This type of information is fine for the article. Be bold and add it. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:34, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Naval Academy
Indeed he had an appointment to the Naval Academy class of 1958, I believe. He left at the end of plebe summer before classes began. Most likely he did not write "California Dreamin" during this time. It would make it 1954 while most agree the song was written in '63 or so. Who has time to write a good song during plebe summer? --ProdigySportsman 02:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

consentual
I object to using the word consentual in the paragraph about the incest without quoting someone. The word consentual has a specific meaning, a meaning that cannot be gleaned from the misuse of the word by trash-mag People. I suggest that unless we can quote an individual saying that the relationship became consentual, we instead leave that info out. Hipocrite (talk) 13:52, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
