The first to come and the last to go, working for that minimum wage.
Jackson Browne
I never was a very good singer.
Jackson Browne
I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
Jackson Browne
And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that's what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet.
Jackson Browne
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.
Jackson Browne
As far as those kinds of things, I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release.
Jackson Browne
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
Jackson Browne
I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
Jackson Browne
I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring/Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening?
Jackson Browne
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne
Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass.
Jackson Browne
That's maybe the most important thing each generation does, is to break a lot of rules and make up their own way of doing things.
Jackson Browne
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons.
Jackson Browne
I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
Jackson Browne
Now if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
Jackson Browne
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
Jackson Browne
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
Jackson Browne
The biggest influence? I've had several at different times - but the biggest for me was Bob Dylan, who was a guy that came along when I was twelve or thirteen and just changed all the rules about what it meant to write songs.
Jackson Browne
Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let the illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter.
Jackson Browne
