Ah, lovely Linda! I had it SO bad for her back in those days. Saw her on tour with Jackson Browne in about ‘73.

I love Jackson Browne (another lefty!) After his wife's suicide, he wrote some pretty sad and dark thing, which are beautiful musically. The album Late For the Sky was an epic. Released 41 years ago!!

Great show, good memories. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that you can enjoy someone’s talent while ignoring the idiotic political crap they spew. (Tony Bennett was every bit as crazy politically, and we still listen to his music.)

Yup. And if you really want to help them, keep them in your prayers. That's my motto. And God gave them great talent, it was one of His gifts to them.

I read somewhere that Jackson Browne asked Linda to cover Warren Zevon's song (Poor Pitiful Me). Linda was said to have joked to Jackson before he played it to her that all his songs were so sorrowful and full of pity. Jackson took it to heart and played her Zevon's song on his accoustic guitar and also her piano at her home.
