  John Flynn sings his conscience.
  
  Like many performers, the Brandywine Hundred folk artist has been inspired by events such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing war in Southeast Asia. Unlike many performers, Flynn is working hard to help those who are less fortunate.
  
  Flynn's recent CD release party at the Baby Grand in Wilmington, for example, raised $2,000 for construction of a safe house for veterans returning from war. Flynn wrote "Semper Fi" to share the story of Eric Hall, a U.S. Marine who returned from Iraq only to succumb to post-traumatic stress disorder.
  ...
  "We haven't done enough in the country to address the situation," Flynn says. "It's not in their nature to come home and ask for help. They say, 'I'm going to suck it up and handle it myself.' Sometimes, you can't set your own broken leg."
  
  Flynn, who's been making music for 25 years, performs across the country. He also leads discussion groups at local prisons and does charity shows for organizations such as Camp Dreamcatcher for children with HIV/AIDS.
  
  Flynn hopes that "America's Waiting," his eighth CD, will inspire others to step up and pitch in. "You write a song to reach over, under or around the fence," Flynn says. "It's asking questions, not telling folks what to think, but waking them up. When it happens, it's quite a powerful thing."
  
  Gene Shay, a folk music guru from Philadelphia and a friend of Flynn, says the singer-songwriter is the real deal.
  ...
  Flynn has performed with all three and Kristofferson has sung on two of Flynn's albums.
  ...
  "I would love to say John's right on the cusp of stardom," Shay says.
  ...
  In the meantime, as one of his songs says, Flynn will strap on that guitar and go wake a heart. -Drew Ostroski

  For weeks now, Ventura County Supervisor John Flynn and his staff have been dismantling his office. Flynn went back to teaching, at Oxnard College, but he never stopped planning his comeback. Laubacher retired in 1980, and Flynn won the seat easily. In 2002, the wife of Oxnard's then-mayor said Flynn verbally abused her.

  Johnny Flynn and his troupe of casually gifted friends/musicians The Sussex Wit scored 'seven-inch of the issue' in our Feb/March edition of the rag thanks to a glorious vinyl treasure in two 'acts' entitled 'The Epic Tale Of Tom & Sue,' which came out on Young & Lost club last week.It's lovingly crafted and fragile English folk tied into a narrative over two sides proves that literary pop doesn't have to be as Godawful as the Divine Comedy.
  
  A Shakesperian actor by training, Mr Flynn is one disgustingly talented young man, who somehow manages to avoid being nauseating and punchable with it.
