Curse of Jackson?

More Jacksons for my sensational 2012 summer bill! My good friend Marco Rossi points out that I have overlooked, for a start, Jackson C Frank and Mahalia Jackson. They should pull the punters and no mistake. (Availability permitting, and there may be one or two stumbling blocks there.)

My researches have also turned up Wanda Jackson, Queen Of Rock, of whom, shamefully, I had been unaware (http://www.wandajackson.com/). She at least may still be around, it seems. Many of my targets, it appears, are no longer with us. Could it be that the name Jackson predisposes its owners to an untimely end as well as prominence in popular culture? One for the academics, I think.
