Very fine, Joe and Gerard. I had seen that photograph of Jacko performing at the Eleanor Rigby monument but Gerard's photograph of him is new to me. As you say, Gerard, there is a story in those eyes.
All the best

Thanks Chris, that photo Chris was taken outside Mother Care on Whitechapel.
Not long after Jackson was beaten up by low life and was almost left for dead..
he was in the Royal for a long time and later a nursing home..
he's out now... or was, I'm not sure how he is or where he is
as he has not been seen around the town for a long while.
talking of which...
I'm off out... to capture Liverpools past today..
Cheers Chris...

In Jacko's Eyes
As you say, there's a whole world in there.
In the photo, he's unshaven with battered
straw hat, smoking a filter-tip cigarette,
his white eyebrows shooting out wildly.
We remember him at the Eleanor Rigby statue,
on the bench sitting next to her bronze figure,
strumming his cut-out cardboard guitar.
"Ah, look at all the lonely people!"

Thanks for the pics GD and Gerard. It saves me the job of hunting for a pic
I was going to try and find one to post up after I'd mentioned 'Plink, Plink'
