I can't even begin to comprehend how a sixteen year old can come up with those lyrics. 'Don't confront me with my failures. I have not forgotten them'. Phew. More like the words of a man at the end of his life than the start. Incidentally, this performance is beautiful and flawless.

It's honestly nuts to think of a 16 year old coming up with the line, "Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them." That line cuts deep - every time I listen to this song it's like it pierces my soul and makes me wistful to think of all my past mistakes. It feels like it could only come from someone who's lived a life full of regrets, and yet he wrote it when he was just a teenager! Honestly, the only takeaway I have is that Jackson Browne is a masterful artist, and clearly he always has been.

it just now occurred to me, that whenever you're listening to Jackson, regardless of the venue or the song, it feels like he's talking directly to YOU. I mean, you are sitting there listening as he relates something happy, hopeful, melancholy or whatever, it's like he's talking directly to you. Jackson Brown is an eternally relevant singer/songwriter. I feel honored to have lived at the same time as he did.

I concur,a very astute commentary of one of our better songwriter/ poets of our time does not get the respect of Dylan but I think it's because he is born quote I feel good writer where is Dylan is he Debbie Downer but kind of in your face type of guy and Jackson Browne is laid back and just beautiful the way he composes his lyrics He's just a wonderful writer, I actually got here because I was listening to these days this game up on the radio and then I wanted to hear it live for some reason and I did he was at Austin limits and it would blew me away cuz he looks as old as I am and he sounds like a young man just some wonderful juxtaposition of actually how I'm feeling today I look old but I feel young. Thank you Jackson Browne You're a national treasure.

I grew up around Jackson, and we graduated from high school together in 1966, and I can attest to the beauty and quality of what he was writing even back then. “These Days” is a classic example of that work. That song has carried me through some nasty shit over the last 50+ years. Not a bad piece of work from a kid who didn’t even shave yet !

I've loved JB' Singer/ Song writer amazing talents since the turbulent times of the 60's/70's. His talent is top[ shelf. I just wish he would not inject his politics into songs that have a profound message that have the potential to change (improve) peoples lives e. g. the cocaine rehab version. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original. It was such a "fine line" that was hard to let go. But Ronald and Nancy had nothing to do with our bad choices.
