Wow....this is so nostalgic! I was in my first year of college and experiencing my first taste of adult freedom when this song came out....I remember driving around Boulder, CO listening to this blasting on the radio!
Saw JB decades ago in a field outside Barnwell, SC. Saw him beside the stage so I introduced him to my beautiful husky, Kaemoon (named after Keith Moon bc he destroyed all my furniture). Nice guy, awesome show. Wondered why FBI were everywhere. Turned out to be a rally near a nuclear plant. Now I'm on a list...

The soundtrack of my youth! Jackson Browne is amazing...and Rosemary Butler's backing vocals rock. Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar on point as well. Special! We are blessed to have this music around!
I’ve been to two concerts and one was yours. I did it when I could least afford it. I sat in the nosebleeds and cried through every song. I’ll never forget it or regret it. Thank you for existing and writing and singing and sharing.
