Long John Baldry: The Cool Connection Between Elton John and Sonic the Hedgehog
Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, the "John" in Elton John's stage name didn't come from the late John Lennon. It came from the late legendary bluesman, Long John Baldry, who also happened to be the "someone" in Someone Saved My Life Tonight (I have no clue why the Rocketman biopic completely ignored Long John Baldry's impact on Elton John's life, but I digress). Long John Baldry was also Dr. Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Pretty cool, huh?
