Talk:Mike Mills

Untitled

Air's song Mike Mills refer to director/designer Mike Mills, not Mike Mills the drummer for R.E.M.

Exactly - should we include a disambiguation page or at least note on this page? Perhaps write a page for (designer) Mike Mills?--Brendotroy 18:07, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Where did the McCartney quote come from? I can't find any corroboration.

Watertower incident?

The only source I can find is a brief reference to the incident from The complete guide to the music of REM by Peter Hogan. The song lyrics for "Time After Time (annelise)" mention a water tower, one that the author says "may be the same one (in Athens) where Mike Mills was arrested for 'cavorting nude with a young lady' several years later.'" (p. 15) --Starling817 (talk) 12:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Does anybody know what happened exactly during the so-called "watertower incident"? I think it should be described in detail for the benifit of the article. 75pickup (talk · contribs) 19:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced still!

Come now, if I can find a fine photo of Mills like the one I just placed, and cleaned up a lot of wording and wikification, someone can figure out where he was born, not just a County in California! It's still unreferenced, and far too many trivia tidbits are still not integrated into the article! I do photos maybe 50% of the time here, and rest, I edit articles I already have committed to seeing beyond Start level. Please help these articles: if the band page is an FA article, I'm sure there's plenty of references there you can use for the bandmates in R.E.M..--Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Sources You can easily source it from It Crawled from the South. I gave away my copy, but I might be able to get access to it. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

mention of the breakup

there needs to be something about R.E.M. breaking up under career, but the paragraph that was there seemed random and out of context. I didn't know about the talk page yet so I just deleted it. can someone who is a better writer than me put a new paragraph about it in? 2600:8806:A304:7700:2D99:12AF:C552:F417 (talk) 06:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation page

There’s more than one Mike Mills of note on Wikipedia, and we might want to make this a disambiguation page rather than have it default to R.E.M.’s bassist. Thoughts? Morganfitzp (talk) 13:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Searching for "Mike Mills" brings up a lot of the R.E.M. guy and a lot of the director guy: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22mike+mills%22&ia=web It seems likely to me that the current solution matches expectations and most common name, but I'm open to someone providing data otherwise. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 13:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
