Jack and myself
Uncle Jack lives here at Exile Towers and the video above for Augie March's When I Am Old was actually filmed here the week I moved in at the end of 2017.
Jack really is a national treasure and has lived such an amazing life, not all good of course.
Here's a piece on him from last weekend's Age/SMH:
That piece is written by someone I've known since she was about 14 as when I first came out to Australia we moved to the suburb where her parents have a great menswear store and Jane would sullenly hang around on the pavement outside after school.
She's done well for herself and I was green with envy when she told me about seeing the reformed Stooges playing Coachella back in 2003. Luckily I did catch both the Ron Asheton and James Williamson lineups when they came out to Melbourne though so that's a 'phew' from me
