That’s from a photo shoot and definitely not 1968.
“However, after working as a clerk and typist, he left in 1968 to pursue a career in music,[1] as the police did not allow him to grow his hair long.”

He joined the NYPD as an administrative assistant and typist, a police trainee role. He served for approximately two years in this capacity, starting at age 18 around 1968. He was never appointed as a full police officer.

He looks like he 🎶 “could walk on water” 🎶

I met him once about 15 years ago, and it was a fucking spectacle in the most delightful way.
I was working a hotel front desk near a concert venue. We would get artists a lot.
Eddie Money had a gig coming up that night and we knew he’d be coming.
I am going to describe *exactly* what I saw, and why it was so funny.
The lobby front double doors slide open, and Eddie Money briskly walks in smiling ear to ear with his arms extended outwards in this grand gesture to no one in particular, like a magician or a figure skater.
There’s like 6 people in the lobby with me and we all sorta just glanced around at each other confused at this grand entrance, and then back at Eddie.
He laughs, then walks right up to me at the desk, crazy eyes, massive smile. This quote is verbatim, I will never forget it.
*”HEY!! I’m Eddie Money!! You remember my hit song, Two Tickets To Paradise?? I’ll sing it right now!”* While shaking my hand way too hard and long
And then he literally belted the chorus right there, I didn’t even ask. It was hilarious, confusing, and amazing all at once.
Myself and the other half-dozen people in the lobby all went nuts laughing and applauded, and some old ladies in their *early* 60s gravitated towards him.
By the time I got him checked in, he had his arms around the old ladies and they were guiding him to the hotel bar and restaurant. I could hear him singing down the hall, the ladies laughing.
A few minutes later, the tour manager comes running in sweating bullets, papers flying out of his hands, and he’s like
*”WHERE IS EDDIE MONEY!?!?”*
And I just laughed and said
“Two hot old ladies took him that way.”
The manager gave a face like “ugh, not again” and ran off.
10/10 great day at work. One of those rare interactions that make the job worth it.

He reminds me of Jim Hopper. But sure why, can’t put my finger on it.

Watched him pass out on the stage they had to carry/drag him off, concert ended. He was the headliner.
