Ever since his first album came out when I was in college I have waited with eager anticipation for new recordings and live performances from Jackson and sometimes these were five or years apart! I agree that his writings carry a lot of spiritual overtones- listen to "Rock me on the Water"; For a Dancer, or "Don't you want to be There"- I would hope my family would use these for my funeral mass- they speak of the promise we all believe in for our next life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-22956030015916825582008-04-09T16:40:00.000-04:002008-04-09T16:40:00.000-04:00Just part of the full-service blog your ConcordPas...Just part of the full-service blog your ConcordPastor tries to provide!<BR/>:-)Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-24043203155567645342008-04-09T16:27:00.000-04:002008-04-09T16:27:00.000-04:00So that's who wrote those songs I really like!

My friend sings and plays the guitar and piano and I love it when he sings Jackson Browne songs. I have a lot of favorites, one is 'Fountain of Sorrow'. I work with young children and I have a CD with Jackson Browne singing 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight' (medley) that I like to play.<BR/>Thank you for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-20096542825106455312008-04-08T15:13:00.000-04:002008-04-08T15:13:00.000-04:00Concord Pastor you are truly a study in contrasts!...Concord Pastor you are truly a study in contrasts! You have the most eclectic tastes for which I am very grateful because you share them with us through this blog!

Many of his writings deal with heartbreak, loss, and death, and some find that depressing. Quite the contrary, I say. He deals with the hard topics but finds hope and purpose in the challenges of life. A favorite of mine is the ending of “For A Dancer,” one of many Browne songs dealing with the death of a friend, yet he concludes as such:<BR/><BR/>“Into a dancer you have grown<BR/>From a seed somebody else has thrown;<BR/>Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own;<BR/>And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go,<BR/>May lie a reason you were alive<BR/>But you'll never know.”<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Solo/Acoustic concert format serves Browne well. If his goal was, as he says in “Running on Empty,” to “get you to smile before I leave,” mission accomplished.Concord Pastor's Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184489472440587722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-90786215959108926212008-04-07T17:38:00.000-04:002008-04-07T17:38:00.000-04:00I'd say your computer is downloadling slowly.

"Runnin' on Empty" is another JB song so very relevant today as back, what 20 years ago(?). The lyrics are a summary of my current state of affairs...not only is my gas tank on fumes, many days I feel like I am "on empty" literally working myself to exhaustion to keep food on the table. Thankful to have a job but are we all just being driven a bit mad these days. Oh well, enough from me. Thanks for this topic that is a great respite from my usual Sunday evening, anticipating the work week tension/anxiety attack.
