1987? Jack still looks young here. I expected him to look awful like he did in later life.

@MOONST0MP It wasn't until he got to his 40s that he started looking terrible. Of course he was ill by then.

This is 1987? Jack is sporting a Dan Tanna look circa 1978. Is Terry rocking a toop?

[sirtinycreep]

@midmodgal Yes, it is 1987. And I agree with you, Jack's fashions are ten years too late. :)

if jack hadn't started all the drinking and smoking he would've looked sooooo much better here but still i'm amazed at how he still manages to look gorgeous!!! mark looks really good too but i've always had a soft spot for artful dodger:)

@MOONST0MP

1987 was when he was drinking his heaviest. He entered rehab in early 1988.
