John Linnell

John Sidney Linnell (born June 12, 1959, in New York City) is an American musician, known primarily as one half of Brooklyn, New York alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Linnell Biography )〕 In addition to singing and songwriting, he plays accordion, baritone and bass saxophone, clarinet, and keyboards for the group.
Linnell's lyrics are perhaps best known for their inclusion of strange subject matter and word play. Persistent themes include aging, delusional behavior, bad relationships, death, and the personification of inanimate objects. Conversely, the accompanying melodies are usually cascading and upbeat.〔〔Pareles, John (March 6, 1987). "Giants Duo Gauges Public Opinion, by the Dial". ''The New York Times''.〕
== Early life ==
John Linnell was born in New York City to father Zenos Linnell, a psychiatrist, and mother Kathleen.〔 When Linnell was a child, Walt Kelly's ''Songs of the Pogo'' album made a strong impression on his musical sensibilities. The album contained lyrics that relied heavily on puns and word play, which Linnell appreciated. In particular, he recalls "Lines Upon a Tranquil Brow", which later became part of They Might Be Giants's live repertoire.〔〔Linnell, John (August 27, 2009). . Interview with SA Shepherd. Zooglobble. Retrieved 2012-09-13.〕 At an early age, Linnell and his family relocated to Lincoln, Massachusetts, where he attended Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. Here, he worked on the school newspaper, the ''Promethean'', and met John Flansburgh. The two occasionally collaborated on home-recording projects.〔
Linnell studied English for a semester at the University of Massachusetts Amherst before dropping out to pursue a career in music.〔Flansburgh, John (March 3, 2012). ( Design Matters: John Flansburgh )''. Interview with Debbie Millman. ''Design Matters''. Observer Media. Retrieved 2012-08-06.〕
