Bill Jackson?

[joe_blow]

Has anyone ever looked into the status of Mike Love's friend, Bill Jackson? This was the guy who Mike allegedy surfed with before going back to Brian's house and writing Do It Again. Bill Jackson info anyone?

Bill Jackson played football with the Raiders and baseball with the Royals. Oh wait, that's Bo Jackson.

Nah, I'm not Bill Jackson...

I went to high school with a guy named Bill Jackson, and his father's name was also Bill Jackson, but I don't think either of them were buddies with the Lovester.

Bill Jackson sounds as common as John Doe (no family I presume...). 'Bill Jaxxon' sounds more contemporary, more 'hip with the scene'.

Wasn't Bill Jackson the one Jackson family member that never was allowed to sing? I remember an interview with Michael where Michael said something like 'Nobody's ever heard him, but my brother Bill is the best singer in the family'. I saw him onstage at that Michael Jackson memorial a few weeks ago.

True dat. Bill Jackson (or: Jaxxon, as he was affectionately known) was by far the best singer in the family. His vocal range comprised 15 full octaves, and when he took of his prosthetic penis and scrotum, he could produce a fine castrato voice too. So: Joe Jackson (a good singer, to wit: A Slow Song) prohibited Bill from entering the spotlight, because Bill, in his thwarted vision, could not syncopate well enough. Bill led a solitary life, only interspersed with the occasional love tryst (notably with Liz Taylor, who bore his child. That girl was christened Amy Winehouse, and, according to Bill, she'd become a 'purdy good singah'. Perhaps she did.).
Bill unfortunately took to booze, cocaïne, and cigarettes. So around 1975 his voice changed dramatically, into a one-note Tom Waits soundalike. He's nowadays known as 'growler Bill', and is a busker in N.Y.C.

But that still doesn't explain how he knew Mike Love or anything about the time they went surfing together in 1968!

And his father's Look Sharp! album had some pretty good songs on it!!

Was Don't Worry Bill an ode to Jackson himself? This link has Love, Bill, and a fellow named Rocky...
