A Song for Monday

Poor bloke. When he was 11 Jackson C. Frank nearly died in a fire, in 1965 at the age of 21 he came to England and recorded an album with Simon and Garfunkel, but quickly became depressed so went back to America.

He married a model, things are looking up!, he had 2 children, who both died from Cystic Fibrosis. This sent him over the edge and he was committed to an institution. Sometime in the 80's he decided to go and find his old pal Paul Simon in New York, he failed and ended up sleeping in the street, for the next 10 years was in and out of Institutions with no where to live.

He was misdiagnosed, and treated for, Paranoid Schizophrenia, it was merely depression. He had a parathyroid malfunction, causing him to put on weight.

In the early 90's he was accidentally shot in the eye and blinded, and in 1999 he died of pneumonia and cardiac arrest.

He wrote and recorded this song in 1965:

Blues Run the Game

Ensign's Blog

Captain's Blog was taken so I went for the lowest rank instead, well, the lowest officers rank. 'Petty Officer 1st Class' Blog' didn't have the same ring to it. Although I realise the comedic factor of having a 'Captain's Blog' is now mostly lost.

I feel this will now be reflected in the quality of content and wit of my posts, it will be more "Aye aye Captain" than "Make it so"
