Why Is Ramblin' Jack Elliott Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ramblin' Jack Elliott is an American folk singer and songwriter and musician. Life and career Elliott was born in 1931 in Brooklyn, New York, United States, the son of Florence and Abraham Adnopoz, an eminent doctor. His family was Jewish. He attended Midwood High School in Brooklyn and graduated in 1949. Elliott grew up inspired by the rodeos at Madison Square Garden, and wanted to be a cowboy. Encouraged instead to follow his father's example and become a surgeon, Elliott rebelled, running away from home at the age of 15 to join Col. Jim Eskew's Rodeo, the only rodeo east of the Mississippi. They traveled throughout the Mid-Atlantic states and New England.
