John Linnell was featured in a WikiWorld cartoon. Click the image to the right for full size version. |
I was just about to write a post asking if John Linnell had become far more attractive with age (and this question comes from a heterosexual man). Then I noticed he was named one of People's Most Beautiful people, so I guess my question is answered. But maybe some other people have thoughts on the subject.

I would go gay for John Linnell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.149.251 (talk) 00:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
The picture is AWFUL. Someone find a new one, seriously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.149.251 (talk) 04:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Are you kidding? That's one of the best "unofficial" shots of Linnell I've seen. Maybe the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.160.252.22 (talk) 15:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Ya....NO.
Change it. Please.
I second (fourth?) this, it's not flattering and looks rather awkward... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.11.45 (talk) 06:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Seriously, if only there was a picture of this quality for all Wiki entries. Linnell looks fine. Far better than some muddy cameraphone job which seems to be de rigueur for Wikipedia.
I've uploaded a slightly more recent and slightly more in character image of Linnell from a concert in 2008 under a CC license. I'm not sure whether it's a better image, but it does remind me more of Linnell. Feel free to use it. 70.140.45.23 (talk) 07:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
i like the current pic, its shows off his quirkiness and he's looking at the camera, it feels more real than a pic from a concert —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.64.34 (talk) 10:29, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
The current pic is gross. It makes him look like a silly grandfather. Please go back to the one where he's smiling--albeit awkwardly--behind his keyboard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.231.202.39 (talk) 19:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Linnell's lyrics are perhaps most well-known for their inclusion of strange subject matter and wordplay. Persistent themes include aging, delusional behavior, bad relationships, death, and the personification of inanimate objects. Conversely, the accompanying melodies are usually cascading and upbeat.
Awesome description. I guess subjective descriptions are not really encyclopedic, but I don't think Wikipedia should be aspiring to be an Encyclopedia Britannica. It summarizes his music in a nutshell and I wish more articles did that. On another note, someone needs to get Linnell (or the two Johns) out of the northeast and into the Midwest. I have yet to see them in concert. -Rolypolyman (talk) 18:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
The description of Idaho is partially incorrect. Linnell thought it was about Lenon being so high he thought his house was a car, but it was actually about George Harrison who thought his house was a submarine .
