Fair use rationale for Image:Bauhaus terror couple kill.jpg

[edit]

Image:Bauhaus terror couple kill.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Baader

[edit]

Presumably this song is about the Baader Meinhof gang ("Terror couple kill colonel / in his West German home" and so forth) - but I can't find a source to attest this. Can anyone shed any light on it? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I have no link handy, and I am on my way to bed, but I Googled it once, and learned it was inspired by a British newspaper headline: literally, "Terror Couple Kills Colonel". Search a bit about bauhous, and P. Murphy is quoted on it. I do not think the band was aware of the source, but rather intrigued by the headline itself.--68.32.104.87 (talk) 07:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's about a later RAF attack in 79 or 80

[edit]

The song is NOT about the RAF bombing of the US Air Force base in Frankfurt in 1972 that killed Bloomquist, but a later RAF attack. The lyrics goes "terror couple kills colonel in his west german home", NOT "...at the airforce base" or something.
The attack described in the song was an attack on a west german colonel in 79 or 80 by a man and a woman from the RAF. The woman rang the doorbell and told the wife opening that she had a package for her husband, and wanted him to sign. She called at him and when he came in the doorway, a man standing behind the "post woman" opened fire with a gun killing him. It was something like that. Can't remember 100% any longer.
However, I remember the event 'cause I saw it on the TV news with my parents when a was a young kid, and remembered my parents freaking out. Shouting sentences like 'What has the world become when descent, hard-working people are killed in their own houses by communist scum' and so forth.
