Quote

It was a great time to be born, because I got to have my own publishing company right from the beginning, so I made more money than somebody would have doing what I did ten or fifteen years before.

Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.
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.

I never was a very good singer.

Jackson Browne

Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne
Image
Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.
Jackson Browne
Image
In the end, they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings. And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge, and in the moment they were swept before the deluge.
Jackson Browne
Image
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.

People know more about baseball players contracts than they do about the policies that govern the fate of our childrens lives in twenty years. Think about it. People used to say, the whole time I was growing up, Do you want to bring a child into this world? Thats pretty dire.
Jackson Browne
Image
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
Image
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?

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
