Anyone mind if I take down the listing of "Adventures of Charizard the Dragon?" No such show. It would have been funnier as a Youtube Poop, guys. Keep the laughs there, and don't mess with the real information.
I commission someone to make a Youtube Poop based on the Adventures of Charizard idea, with Long John Baldry dubbed over a tyranitar.
It would be nice to have a definitive source for his birthplace. As far as I can work out, there is no such place as East Maddon. All google hits for "East Maddon are Long John Baldry pages. East Haddon, UK on the other hand is definitely a real place in Northamptonshire. My suspicion is a typo or bad handwriting/transcription changing the H to M, which has been picked up and copied everywhere. On the other hand, the Telegraph lists his birthplace as "Haddon, Derbyshire, but grew up in London". There seem to be two Haddons in Derbyshire: Over Haddon and Nether Haddon but no East Haddon (or Maddon, for that matter). Perhaps we can just state "Haddon, England" for now.

I've wikified It Ain't Easy accoring to Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. All the others need a lot of work. Including a [[Category: Long John Baldry albums]]. - Ozzykhan 20:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this article looking back at Long John Baldry's It Ain't Easy. However, I would like to recommend the piece on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the article and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section on this page. It provides a lot of great biographical information, and was written by Paul Myers, author of a Baldry biography released last year, It Ain't Easy: Long John Baldry and the Birth of the British Blues. I appreciate your time.
Crawdaddy!

"Deem Bristow, Robotnik's in-game voice actor, died earlier that year, then minutes later the President of Procter & Gamble sent his grievances to their survivors." I have a feeling that this might be a joke... it should probably be removed, or cited.

When the "Baldry's Out" album was released, various DJs et alia were putting it about that the album's title referred to the fact that Baldry had been let out of the mental hospital rather than that he was out of the closet. This seems plausible given the fact that he was always openly gay rather than in the closet at any time. Doesn't it?
The nickname "Long John" or "Long" Christian name, is the normal nickname of a very tall man. It has nothing to do with the character Long John Silver from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, except that LJS was similarly nicknamed for the same reason. Long John Baldry was not named after a character in a book! 203.184.41.226 ( talk) 04:17, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
