Yeah I don't know what happened, we all get old I guess.
From John The Wolf to John The Clerk is a big change...
His more recent music reflects that change as well; it's sad to say, but he's lost a lot of "je ne sais quoi" since Les Fourmis. Let's see how Mexico is...
Aw, poor guy. He still looks young and handsome, maybe a bit sunburnt on his nose?
