John Linnell is one half of the beloved musical duo They Might Be Giants.  For 40 plus years, John Linnell and John Flansburgh have been making fun, quirky, memorable music.  Really good music.  For adults.  For kids.  For everyone.  Their friendship dates back even longer to growing up just outside of Boston.  My conversation with John Linnell is about that friendship and the early years of a musical partnership: a first gig that actually involved the then new Sandinista government, getting their video on MTV at a time when no one in their Brooklyn neighborhood had MTV and then creating one of the coolest ideas in music, Dial-A-Song.


More than 40 years of music and friendship.  They Might Be Giants, indeed.
