Does anyone know what years he married and divorced Johanna Hall (who was also his songwriting partner)? I'm guessing about 1970 and 1986 respectively from what little information I've been able to glean. Probably wouldn't hurt to include some information about his present wife, Pamela. --Mwalimu59 17:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
The article is entitled John Hall (musician), and I would argue that Hall is more famous as a musician than a politician. Should there be a more prominent (maybe even the main?) picture of him in Orleans? - Che Nuevara 18:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
If people want, I have a great photograph of John Hall on the Campaign trail playing his guitar...in this fashion, you get the best of both worlds, as he is playing his guitar, but is wearing starched shirt and tie. Leave a note on the Congressman John Hall Blog and let me know. (http://congressmanjohnhall.blogspot.com/)
It should no longer be John Hall singer, but now something like "John Hall (politician)" Chivista 14:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Proposal: To move John Hall (musician)toJohn Hall (politician and musician). Please comment/vote. Simon12 18:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
My aplogies. I had moved it to John Hall (New York) without checking the talk page first... It's consistent with John Hall (Maryland), so I thought it was a good idea. - crz crztalk 04:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
How long is Congressman John Hall going to be unfairly known by, and be referenced by his previous career as a Musician? If you read news articles, he (unfairly) cannot escape having his "Still The One" and "Orleans"references in the article at some point...enough already. He's been involved in politics for some time now, as President of the Board of Education, and as a County Legislature...isn't it time that this part of his life gets the recognition?

She says: 'It's not over.' and she is demanding a recount. I think it should be elaborated in the article.--Wealthy 18:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Ahm... in that same article you linked to it says, "Campaign staffer Jim O’Neill said Kelly wouldn’t request a recount, but her lawyers wanted to review the result. “It’s that close,” O’Neill said."caz | speak 06:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

John has explained that when they album cover photo was shot, it was suggested that they pose shirtless. They were all wearing jeans, but the photo was cropped below their waists. I have removed the nude reference from the article. Joegoodfriend 17:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Someone just copied this page and put it at John Hall, then moved the previous page to John Hall (disambiguation). Renaming this page was being discussed above, but no decision was reached. Also, I don't think our good congressman deserves the John Hall page to himself anyway. I've been watching the links to the old page, and is also always getting a lot of links from the football player John Hall. Can the move be undone, or do we need an admin involved?

It appears this page was vandalized by a high school student registered as User:Jqpr I registered in order to correct this. I hope I did it right. I tried to revert to the most recent article before this person's edits. If I did anything wrong, please respond so I know in the future what to do/how to do it...
"He was assisted in this bid by the $500,000 donated by Adam Rose, an openly gay real-estate developer who inherited his fortune from his father, to an independent left-wing group called Majority Action. This group ran negative advertisements against Sue Kelly calling her a "coddler of pedophiles" in reference to the Mark Foley scandal." I don't remember them running ad against her saying she was a coddler of pedophiles... if this is the case, which i greatly doubt, please revert my edit and add some sources. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MrMacMan (talk • contribs) 10:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC).Reply
I do not specifically recall the "coddler of pedophiles" wording but I do recall campaign ads that criticized Kelly for her service as chairman of the House Page Board when Foley was alleged to have made improper contacts with Pages. To confirm the quote one would have to get a copy or transcription of the ad(s), or at least research stories in The Journal-News, which is the daily newspaper that covered the race closely.--Ana Nim 14:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
John Hall did not benefit by a $500,000 donation from Adam Rose...Adam Rose and openly gay real estate developer, like many people such as the group Take 19, or the Sue Kelly Poop Sheet spent money on the campaign to DEFEAT Sue Kelly...the fact that John Hall indirectly benefitted is not the issue, as who ever the Democratic nominee was would have benefitted from the Districts dislike of Sue Kelly's rubber stamp endorsement of the Tom DeLay/George Bush agenda...I wrote about this very issue on a blog tracking John Hall's Congress career over a month ago. (http://congressmanjohnhall.blogspot.com/)
I have noticed that at least one editor is keen on including the power plant in as many place as possible. Do people who know about Hall know whether the plant is a big deal in his district? If so, can someone put a longer section on this contrioversy? It looks like there is more than we can read currently. As an issue of public concern it would be notable. Chivista 14:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes, Indian Point is a BIG item in John Hall's district, as Entergy is attempting to relicense the facility beginning in March of this year.
More interesting, MrMAcMan commented on the very blog he is complaining about, the blog that has been on this page since it was first formed Congressman John Hall while replacing it with a blog he himself is associated with, that is more progressive and centrist in nature...the same people (Progressive Wave) who have a FLEET OF BLOGS aimed at pulling Freshman Members of Congress into the center.
Alright, I want to post this here as record. Several parties and '68.199.24.163' have been going back and forth reverting changes to the external links section. I don't think that a blog against Congressman Hall should be tagged as if it were his official blog. Others have deleted the entry outright, I have made changes to the name. Anyone want to weight in? MrMacMan 16:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've had to replace a link to an unnamed, undated NY Daily News article — apparently supporting either Hall's support for gay marriage or Rose's reasons for contributing to Hall — with a "citation needed" {{fact}} tag because the link is broken, it hasn't been archived at Internet Archive, and without any article title or even a quote, there's no practical way to determine the original claimed source. Folks, this is why we take the trouble to do full citations. Bare links are notorious for expiring, and they provide no information that allows editors to fix or replace them. If you can at least provide an article title, you give verifiers some hope of fixing problems. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
So one editor believes that Congressman Hall can be classified as an 'extreme liberal' -- while I never heard this term used I would assume he means that Hall is not only a Liberal but more a Ultra-Liberal. The edits are made here I believe that Hall doesn't have the voting record to classify himself as one of the 'most liberal' members of Congress and having a platform doesn't mean that he is going to follow through on them. Such sites as the National Journal publish the 2006 most liberal congress people list here and Diane Watson is listed first and she doesn't even have the word 'liberal' appear on her article page. What do we think? MrMacMan Talk 14:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
The recent edits adding an analysis of Hall's voting record violates several wikipedia policies:
I've greatly shortened the section about the potential 2012 congressional rematch, much of which was outdated. I left in the final sentence about Hayworth's 2012 defeat for now, although really at this point it's no longer talking about John Hall, so it could probably safely be dropped. 850 C (talk) 16:14, 17 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

The photograph labeled "John Hall performing with Orleans, 2017" is not a photograph of John Hall, a right-handed guitar player. It is instead of photograph of left-handed guitarist Dennis "Fly" Amero.
For reference, see: https://www.westport-news.com/news/article/Orleans-rocks-the-Levitt-spotlight-on-opening-6355118.php
or any of hundreds of photographs to be found on the internet of John Hall playing guitar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DHLister (talk • contribs) 13:10, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
