you posted the attribution to Eleanor Rigby - "wearing the face that she keeps in a jar..."
ces't ca, I thought , that's Vlad exactly, Radish has him pegged. anyway, Elearnor Rigby is close to the top of my favorite Beatles tunes. Love both the lyrics and the music.
any way, while writing this, I detoured to youtube and listened to a clip and a link led me to this...
What's the story behind Eleanor Rigby?
In an October 2021 article in The New Yorker, McCartney wrote that his inspiration for "Eleanor Rigby" was an old lady who lived alone and whom he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set.
