We had a local street person who was nicknamed Aqualung who was a fixture here from the mid 70s to the mid 00s. Fan of the local minor league team, very private person. Was a rumor that Nick Nolte studied him to prep for a part once.
Which came first, the song or the man?
The song. He got the nickname because he resembled the guy on the album cover.
Aqualung has very Moondog vibes.
