Jackson Browne 'Downhill From Everywhere', the Noise11.com interview 

Tell it l like it is Jackson.. you remain the original song traveler.. thats why I teach all of your songs to younger students of mine .. to keep your songs always alive..

Listening to you speak it's easy to see what an intelligent, kind,and nurturing soul you are, and It definitely shows in your music. My youngest daughter is a case manager for HIV patients I am going to send her the song human touch. She lost a patient and her world just crumbled, she was crushed. Thank you for being you and for writing the songs that you write.. you are a sweet man and the world is lucky to have you

How refreshing, a man whose fame and wealth has not been used to nourish his ego, but has remained humble and relatable. A man who has instead used his platform as a activist for awareness, for positive change, for conscious evolution. Hold onto those values, in the end it’s all we really have.

What a beautiful & humble human being...

now that we are much older (late 60s) and seeing him perform last week in portland doing several older songs from 72 - 76 era the words have taken on a different & deeper meaning

Yes Let’s do have cake. 50 years later still playing those tunes.

a species (humans) that has wiped out almost 80% of all wildlife, does not deserve to exist...mother earth will balance and heal herself by drastically thinning our numbers...it's a needed reminder how fragile we are and the immediacy and urgency of living each moment with awareness...bravo to jackson for being such a beautiful vessel of that conscious evolution...

He'd just rather sing. Had me belly laughing at hot plate. That's ok, Jackson. You've put so much of your heart and searching into the lyrics we love to hear you sing, you can ramble on if you want to. I'm just happy to listen. Happy you're around. Stay safe while you search.

Mr. Brown is a voice crying out in the wilderness of a debased American culture what was the feature of many books in the 60 such as Irrational Man. I'm sure he realizes that as the Human Ape we have come into a very dangerous phase where our technology out paces our maturity .

🥀Amazing interview with Jackson Browne he's creative and easy to relate to. He stands for many things that do take time and effort to accomplish in this world as we know it. Thanks for posting this video. 🥀✌🥀

Brown, still rocking it with a message for all!

We love 💗 you Jackson Browne! I want to thank you for all the joy you have given to humanity through your great talents with your voice, singing, music etc. etc. etc... No problem, we have a UFO spacecraft in the event of the fall down here! Thank you and good luck!

Thanks for this, Paul. I'm twelve days older than JB, and have revered his work since discovering the debut record. The artist's first job is to tell the truth, and when those you've cast as your artistic touchstones reveal themselves further in the courage of activism, the power of inspiration is fully unleashed. To muster the courage to embrace uncertainty -- to "leave what you know, and launch yourself into what you don't know," as he says -- may well turn out to be the essence of life's central task. Sure does seem that way from over here, anyway. Kindness and generosity -- astonishing generosity -- abound in his life's actions. And I remain deeply grateful for his presence in the culture -- the example he sets, as an artist, and as a human being. So thanks again, dude, for taking this time with him, and for sharing it.

Very few songwriters have a social conscious like Jackson and always love his concerts when he tours Australia and still remember his opening song The Fuse at the Horden Pavillion , tripping on some psychedelic stuff back in the seventies and loved it when he did Lawyers, Guns and Money by Warren Zevon who I was lucky to see in NYC in the eighties .

Yes wonderfull. So close so real thank you!

Hello Jackson Browne เพลงของคุณ เพราะทุกเพลง ฉันเป็นคนไทย ฟังไม่ค่อยออก แต่ความไพเราะ มันอยู่ที่น้ำเสียงร้องจริงๆ คนอื่นเอาเพลงคุณมาร้อง คนหนุ่มสาว เสียงสู้ Jackson Browne ไม่ได้เลย คือเราฟังแล้วไม่ไพเราะ เหมือน Jackson Browne ร้องเอง คุณคือศิลปินชาวต่างชาติ ที่ครองใจฉัน ตลอดไป Wish you good health

Jackson's so right about us ingesting plastic. I had not thought about our babies being born w plastic. Plastic people takes on a whole new meaning

Fabulous information, great energy... Thank you..

So glad there's a song of the beginning of AIDS in the 80s. I was a volunteer w Shanti Project but ended up just trying to be a friend to people who had very little time suffering and many abandoned and alone. Horrific time

What a wonderful surprise, Your visiting me at my smartphone! Thank you, Jackson ⚘

I can't figure out why I keep missing your videos. I'm glad everybody has to be vaccinated to get in to your concerts

It would be interesting to hear you speak to this third year of WW III, The Davos crowd, and governments in light of climate change. We are speaking here of unrestricted industrial, corporate , government and institutional greed and resulting pollution. Love the music.

“Celebrate together” Sounds great!!

Great interview 😃

Last of the true believers. ✌️❤️

Thank you for the post Paul. I enjoyed the opportunity to "meet" you both in this interview. Jackson's music has been an enduring thread in the fabric of my life. I recently wrote a song called "Calm Before The Storm," and as I was writing it, Jackson's "Before the Deluge" came to me. As Jackson said in your interview, that song connects....

'i am a child in these hills .. and looking for water and looking for life'.. streams > creeks > rivers > oceans .. watersheds are the basis for the resources we use and the lives that we lead..

Thank you for this interview!

Downhill from Down Under - great interview!

thanks again.. right behind these comments.

Awesome

Thanks for doing this Paul! Awesome ;)

Great things lie ahead... "History is a pack of lies, about events that never happened, told by people who weren't there." George Santayana

Bravo /// Now it is all coming bad .. Just like you predicted ..

I've been a big, big fan of Jackson's for 50+ years, and I'm so glad he's still active with a vibrant career but I must say this album doesn't really resonate for me - with the exception of A Human Touch, obviously. The songwriting just isn't on a par with earlier work, by quite a bit. And while I've always respected his activist leanings because I know he has a good heart and mind, it's a bit disappointing that his viewpoints haven't matured enough to accommodate more complex aspects of various issues. Btw, I can say the exact same things about Bonnie Raitt, her latest album and her activism. But I'm still gonna listen to both of em til the day I die, you can believe that. Thanks for posting.

I remember that nuclear plant in New York very well. I also remember protests “back in the day.”

Being a former professional dancer during the 1980’s In NYC, I was too well acquainted with aids before ‘it” even had a name. I went to many funerals

Hi Paul. Can you get a message to Jackson that I have two nice dual burner electric hotplates, and I'd be pleased to give hime one of them. They're both nearly brand new, and hardly used at all. I grew up (well, to the extent that I did grow up) in Fullerton, CA, and Jackson and I have a number ofr friends in common (Maresh, Liesz, others). I'll be in SoCA between July 11th and 19th, and could drop it off, meet somewhere etc. Thanks, Paul. I liked the interview. All is well, Mick

Dude

and unfortunately, Things look this way.

Such a vicious cycle. 😥

Comrade Jackson it downhill since you lost your mind!!!!

Don t all countrys have walls and borders?Even people in there homes have protections!I know from meeting Jackson once he has people around protecting him! His politics have been the same since the 60s! He should be more open minded! We all know how we would like the world to be,you can say that is a fantasy! Jackson with all his ideas should be more of a free thinker ! Jackson what do you think of free speech these days ,do you think it's ok to burn people's businesses down,what about abortion when you can prevent a pregnancy! I am a huge fan of Jacksons,never miss a concert ,used to write him letters when I was 15 yrs old! Right now there is no replacement for fossil fuel! As far as the oceans he is right,this plastic and garbage is insane! There should be a price to pay for every country to use them as landfills!

Great interview 😃
