Really pretty good. As you probably know, she covers one of his songs on many of her albums. He is not exactly the Boss or whoever but have seen him four times in concert. Nowadays, he seems to be getting a more obvious sense of humor. I will join your forum when I get some time to sign up.

It's pretty easy to write about cars and chicks and booze, but try to write something about trees, love and loss, and the labels come quick.

Are you there, say a prayer.........KML5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03730481351872493160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000438610784981330.post-24406632982149440462008-11-03T20:11:00.000-08:002008-11-03T20:11:00.000-08:00I'm thinking all of Jackson Browne's songs were pr...I'm thinking all of Jackson Browne's songs were protest songs or at least a little whiny.
