Love him as a lyracist! My favorite song of his is "In the Shape of a Heart." so haunting...

OMG yes, I love an acoustical version... I had a cassette that I listened to over and over..The heartbreak of relationships and love...

I think he said it was based on his break up with Daryl Hannah...

Isn’t it weird how everyone else is older than dirt, but we never age?!

I’ve been noticing that increasingly of late. Glad I’m not the only one Kara! 😁

(p.s. I really like this page color!)

Thank you about the color. someone mentioned that the other color was hard to read with the white type... I can't choose the type color... glad you like!

You’re welcome Kara! 💖

Me too. Still twenty something in my head, but my body fails to concur. 😵‍💫

Yes, this color is much easier to read and is quite lovely as well.

I listened to Jackson, but it wasn't until Lives in the Balance came out that I sat up and took notice. Had to buy that one.

Such a great musician and song writer.

This band is great.

another great one... I learned not too long ago that He hung out with the Laurel Canyon crowd.. which of course makes me wonder about things... and the messages coming from these artists.

Considering Jackson is 73 years old in that video, I'd say he looks and sounds great for his age. The only rock stars that don't age are the dead ones. I hope he keeps aging for another 20 years or so 😉

Austin city limits I have seen some great acts on that show! Use to be on public tv channel 13

As Back as far as I remember!

When one of your favorites was on there!

Free concert, it’s was great!

The camera work was always great the sound!

Austin city limits was a godsend in the day of no cable or internet! When DJ’s had a heart and soul too! Different scene the digital world!

thanks for the info on Austin City Limits, I will have to look for more of their work. I thought this Jackson Browne one was really nice.

He wrote most of his classic love songs before he was 22!

Been at it a long time! Bob Dylan’s like 82 still on the road!

All of these classic musicians die on the road!

Or die when they get off!

My favorite all time musician TOM PETTY.. It was obvious his last concert was the end of the road.. Loved that band non stop. For 40 years!

Love Tom Petty's music as well!

Old school, great band always put on a great show! Petty took heavy heavy dozes of pain killers!

Enough to kill a horse! His hip was shot

And he never took time off to get it fixed

Which in turn effects your back and legs, neck etc!

He was really hurt-in!

He OD because he wanted get on stage and feel the rush he was really after the crowd!

Another classic musicians who died on the road.

They were a great American band!

I do not know Jackson Brown....my musical literacy is below the average illiterate.

A Human Touch; a beautiful song written and performed by humans for humans. Remember this performance when some tech bro starts saying nonsense about the creative potential of A.I.

I saw Jackson Browne last summer in concert. I always loved Jackson Browne and had seen him in the ‘70’s and gotta say, I was ambivalent about going to the concert. He’s old, he probably can’t sing anymore, he’s political,etc. I could not have been more wrong. The concert started at 8 and promptly at 8 out walked Browne with a bare bones band. He sang for 3 hours with one 15 minute break and his voice sounded great! He was better than when I saw him in the ‘70’s. Lots of great memories growing up with the influence of his music. You go Jackson! Thanks for an evening of fabulous entertainment and great memories!
