Happy Birthday, John Linnell! May your day be filled with more joy than a birdhouse in your soul and enough cake to fuel another round of accordion solos. Your quirky lyrics and catchy melodies have given us decades of delightful earworms—proof that you're not just making music; you're crafting timeless anthems for the delightfully odd.From "Particle Man" to "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," you've shown us how wonderfully weird life can be. Here's hoping this year brings you continued success, endless inspiration, and perhaps even another Grammy nomination—or at least fewer people asking why Istanbul changed its name. Cheers!
