Life size statues of Jake and Elwood Blues, the Blues Brothers Elwood is leaning back in his chair on 2 legs, in Rock Island IL, the fictional home of the Blues Brothers.
The Blues brothers from the movie "The Blues Brothers" released in 1980. One of the best movies ever! John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd starred "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues, characters developed from a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live. From the Sketch the Blues Brothers took on a life of its own.
Movie description: "The story is a tale of redemption for paroled convict Jake (Belushi) and his brother Elwood (Aykroyd), who take on "a mission from God" to save from foreclosure the Catholic orphanage in which they grew up. To do so they must reunite their rhythm and blues band, The Blues Brothers, and organize a performance to earn $5,000 to pay the tax assessor. Along the way they are targeted by a destructive "mystery woman", Nazis, and a country and western band—all while being relentlessly pursued by the police." Source (
