This totally makes sense

Last week, had a dream that Linnell had come out with the fact that "Doctor Worm" was inspired by the War of 1812. Sadly, he did not explain how the HELL this worked, but I'm sure he would have come up with some sort of very interesting explanation. Also I don't know if my brain was on total random mode or if it was seeing the actual semi-connection that there's the great Johnny Horton song "The Battle of New Orleans" and John did cover his "North to Alaska" on the State Songs tour. Here's my buddy gammadog's explanation for how it works:
