Untitled[edit]

There should be a disambiguation page, to distinguish this from the city of Messina, Italy, country singer Jo Dee Messina, and Jim Messina (Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff).

I think he was born in Texas, not California (?)

You're right. My former bro-in-law used to book travel for the band, and he knows them quite well. I've fixed the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pessia (talk • contribs) 18:32, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, is he from Harlington(?) or from Harlingen (pronounced HAR-lin-jen, named after the city in the Netherlands), Texas? I've never heard Harlingen called by any other name, and I grew up in a neighbouring town. ChiMama (talk) 04:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I don't really think that the duo was soft rock. Atleast their first album. While it pulls from A LOT of influences, I would say the structure is singer-songwriter. Add in some country rock and R&B. Very unique, nothing like it. But I think "soft rock" is a little off. The driving chord stuctures and bass lines, counter melodies and harmonies is a little far off from soft rock. I would think that the Eagles would be closer to soft rock, compared to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.76.146.85 (talk) 19:13, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
