Jackson Browne

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
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
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
