Jackson Browne
So I had a couple of years of playing trumpet. I really enjoyed it, but it was not the kind of instrument you could whip out at a party. Let's face it.
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
Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country - this music contained the real history of the people of this country.
Jackson Browne
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
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
