Jackson Brown's mom was my 11th grade English teacher. Great person and a great teacher, I still have clear memories of learning to appreciate literature in her classroom. I have no doubt she was a huge influence on him as a person and artist. I have a great deal of respect for Jackson's music, hard work and his dedication to his craft. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing!

I very much enjoyed the video about Jackson. I've been a long time fan of his since my early teens and now I'm in my 60s. In the last month discovered JB's channel on KZfaq filmed in his home studio like a year ago during the pandemic. One video of just Jackson and his piano, playing The Pretender. Love it!! Plus there are other videos of him playing a few of his songs with a few band members and one video with one of his back up singers. All beautiful songs! Jackson still has a great singing voice after all these years! Peace &; Blessings...

@RockessentialTim Жыл бұрын

Your love of music, and language to explain and express what we see, and what we inevitably feel through your videos, is special. And you take us to the physical places where it all began! Thank you so much! Side note: I met Jackson Browne in the early '80's. My friend and I had general admission tickets to see him. We were some of the very first in line to enter the outdoor venue, so we had first in row. During the stage set up, the staging collapsed! No one was hurt, but the outdoor show was cancelled. On the way home, we drove past a well known ice cream/burger place called Eskimo King. And parked in the lot was Jackson Browne's tour bus! We recognized his bus from the concert venue, and immediately turned into the Eskimo King. We parked our car and walked over to the ordering windows to see what, if anything, there was to see, and YES!! there was Jackson Browne in line, waiting to order food! My friend and I approached him and told him we were on our way home, and were at the show before the staging collapsed. We said we were sorry that happened and we loved him. He gave us both an autograph. I still have mine. The paper has yellowed, but my memory will never fade of the night I met Jackson Browne. He was very cool. That was 40 yrs ago. I did finally see him in concert in Boston during the early 2000's. ☮️💙🎶

My favorite story about Jackson is Glenn Frey's story about listening to Jackson's songwriting process through the floor of their small apartment, as Jackson conceived, arranged, worked out vocal phrasings, added lyrics and stopped for the tea kettle, all within Glenn's earshot. Then after tea, Jackson was back at the piano, crafting. Talk about a phd lesson in songwriting.

Only in California...... 1971. Once in a while, us younger guys get to pile in the back of an old station wagon with brothers, cousins, etc. and leave our home beach of Santa Monica to go surf somewhere else. A few times we ran into a guy playing his guitar at the beach in between good surf. He was pretty good, and was asking "what do think about this song?" A couple of the older guys got invited by him to parties in Laurel and Topanga Canyons. I was just in jr. high, and certainly not invited. But we did know that those two places, were somehow special and magical. Jackson was a really nice guy to everyone. It was pretty amazing when a few months later, we recognized his song on the radio, "Doctor, My Eyes". We never saw him surf there again. You just never know.............

Steve Martin mentions in his book "Born Standing Up" that he and Jackson did a few of the same open mic's in Fullerton in the 60's. I took a guitar lesson off Severin once and he was living in the Abby at the time. That's where the lesson was. Surreal to be sitting inside it.

I grew up in Fullerton a few years after JB. He went to Sunny Hills and I went to Buena Park. We'd go see him in the clubs in LA and sometimes he'd come over to say hello. Pretty mellow dude. He'd be playing with Henley, Ronstadt, JD Souther or somebody. Funny to look back and know that now they are legends.

I remember hearing 'That Girl Could Sing' + 'Boulevard' in 1980 and in no-way would ever believe that was the same songwriter who wrote 'Doctor My Eyes' from 1972, that AM staple. He had reinvented himself and Jackson could rock, if he chose to. I'll always associate Jackson to the 'No Nukes' movement, and I've always had the highest regard for Jackson's Browne consciousness, every bit as great as his songwriting talent. Rare.

On 1986 (or there abouts) El Rayo-X was appearing at The Belly-Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA. (I saw them there a couple of times) a few miles from my hometown of Escondido) and I made a point of arriving a little earlier than usual to catch him pre-show after their sound check to make a special "offering" personally to Mr. Dave himself of something near and dear to his "shameful, lustful sickness" ( his words) of two pieces of polyester clothing - one pair of white Farrah slacks with green & yellow vericle stripes that looked just like Beech Nut Fruit Striped gum, with a wide bell-bottom flare - which he was very impressed with ("Where th' HELL did you find these? El-Habu is pleased!" he said with a fraternal bow) as well as a God-awful shiny Polyester buttoned shirt of black, red, and white swirls wide very wide lapels ("This shirt looks ANGRY" he said, holding it out and admiring it with a evil smile...the only cost for them, I asked, was if I could do for him MY Jimmy Stewart impression, seeing as how he was well known for his. He said "W-w-w-ell s-s-ure, of c-c-c-ourse!" and well, I did mine to him, and, although I can't say here what I said back to him, but - he threw his head back and roared, laughing so hard he almost pissed himself, I mean laughed for a solid 3 or 4 minutes solid, saying, "Oh! Oh that's just The Shit, man, that's so messed up!!" Later, during the show, he repeated my line Jimmy-style into the mike during their Ska-tinged "Werewolves Of London" and I was so proud of that moment, that I made someone that I admire so much so happy with laughter & joy, made my night!! The afternoon that he died I just sat down and teared up, like getting punched in the stomach, just in absolute disbelief.....it was hard to believe that someone so cool, with so much soul & once-in-a-lifetime talent as Mr. David Lindley could be taken away.....R.I.P., El Habu.

USCG boot camp was on an island between Oakland and San Francisco. Imagine the culture shock of a middle-American kid trying to do his duty while avoiding getting sent to the jungles...instead getting sent to Haight-Ashbury/Funkadelic Oakland/Tinderbox Berkeley circa 1972 Thank you for reminding me what those times were all about.

Thanks for the history and background of JB🙏🏼❤️👍. Nice to see the houses he grew up in and the Abbey is beautiful. For someone so successful, Jackson Browne seems to be the least egotistical person ever!! You have a new subscriber 👍. Keep up the good work 👏👏

Tim, fantastic insight into JB's life. His songs always struck a chord with me, even in my teen years. In my 60's now and travelling for work. Still start all my road trips with prayers for a safe trip, then Running on Empty cranked up loud.

Thanks for this. I grew up in Santa Monica and recall at age 13 rushing down to McCabes music store with my girlified trying to buy Jackson Browne tics. I think this was 1973. We were too late, but I have been a huge fan since hearing his first album and For Everyman.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I like a lot of Jackson Browne's music. I love the 'Runnin' on Empty,' album (who doesn't), lol. Every song on it is really good! One song in particular I really like is 'Cocaine.' It was recorded in a Holiday Inn motel room in Edwardsville, Illinois, (St. Louis - area), my being as a St. Louis - area resident found this to be very cool. I really enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming!!!

Tim, this was a brilliant mini documentary on Jackson's formative years. Thanks for taking us on a great journey. My wife and I had booked to see him in Sydney a few days ago, but unfortunately Jackson was unwell and missed both the Melbourne and Sydney dates. We hope he recovers soon and continues to bring such joy to so many. An incredible songwriter, those first five albums up to and including Running on Empty, were magical. He was truly the tear ducts of a generation. All the best and keep them coming.😊

@RockessentialTim Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that. I know some folks in NZ who are looking forward to some shows there soon. Is he rescheduling the dates? Much to my everlasting shame I have never seen him play live. Hopefully I can rectify that this year!

@lauragaron148 6 ай бұрын

Hi Tim, perhaps you just didn't know about it; but Jackson was one of the first to perform at a folk music venue called Artie Fatbuckle's Cellar (1968-1970) first located at 1501 N. Gardner & Sunset and later on Melrose. Hoyt Axton, Longbranch Pennywhistle and Judee Sill and others performed at Artie's, as did my late husband, Tim Garon in 1969 where he first met Jackson. 🙂

Certainly an integral part of the California sound, such a great singer-songwriter. Love all the interconnections among the musicians of that era. Great to see "the abbey" and the other locations associated with Jackson Browne. California Cool is often associated with design. In this case, I would have to say it applies to JB and his aesthetic as well. It was interesting to hear that he collaborated on the original music for Daisy Jones & the Six. Tim thanks for your work on helping us access these places and their history. It brings up such great memories of listening to am radio during my 70s childhood.

I didnt know that he helped with the music for Daisy. I've been watching it and I found the Bobby (?) character to be an amalgum of Jackson and Lindsey Buckingham. Interesting.
