I’ll give it four Johns

23 August 2009 · 5:24 pm · Almost Yogurt

This is the rating system at FilmChaw:

* * * * *  John Coltrane
  * * * *  John Lennon
    * * *  John Popper
      * *  John Mellencamp
        *  John Cougar Mellencamp
           John Tesh

Impressively exponential, if you ask me.

    I love it. Especially since Coletrane stands for excellence.

    Coltrane, too.

    I would actually put Tesh above Mellencamp, but other than that, it’s golden.

    No John Gary?

    There’s a practical limit to how many Johns you can have.

    Not even if you use half-sizes, as with shoes? :)

    I wouldn’t put John Tesh above the john just off the hall, musically speaking.

    I dunno. Johns have been devalued now that they’re all low-flush.

    heh. I didn’t see at first that “Cougar” Mellencamp ranked below plain “Mellencamp.” That’s pretty awesome.

    Lots of subtleties for such a small list.

    Perhaps we should alert Edward Tufte, as this is a pretty efficient display of information…
