1. Jackson Brown is a musical genius!

"These Days "is a masterclass in emotional expression. I just love Jackson Browne and have been lucky enough to have seen him 4 times in the late 70's and in the 80's. My other favorite is "Stay", I just love the falsetto and the electric guiltar is outstanding on it too.

3. My man!

Loved him from the get go. First time I saw him was 1974 at the Roxy in Hollywood. Joni Mitchell was there.
She beat a retreat when it was over. She wore a full length fur coat and high heeled sandals. Jackson is amazing.
I have a long time male friend who hates him. "Too deep." His loss.
