It could be a lot cheaper in the long run.

Uh-oh... watch out for The Eagles.

You got that right. I still think he should be arrested for even attempting “Stay” - did he really think he was better than Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs???

[IncPen]

I seem to recall Jackson Browne having had some sort of ‘domestic altercation’ with Darryl Hannah...

Yes, this fine California Whine (as I heard him called years ago in Stereo Review) was dotting her "i's", if not crossing her "t's".

Seeing that recent picture of he and his friends has me thinking, "Doctor my eyes..."

[gridlock]

Definitely got that “Old Lesbian” thing going on...

[Gay State Conservative]

I seem to recall Jackson Browne having had some sort of ‘domestic altercation’ with Darryl Hannah...

Yes,I recall having heard of at least one incident in which Browne used some celebrity of the female persuasion as a punching bag.

And regarding the headline....don't we have *two* empty suits involved here?

[WildcatClan]

It sounds like, vacation-land for ‘Lawyers in Love’.

"Jackson Browne appeared in September 2008 on the The Colbert Report. He closed the show performing his new song about visiting Cuba. He's also suing John McCain's campaign for using his music without permission nor license. Listen to his terrific new melodic ballad I'm going down to Cuba."

‘Ol Jackson looks kinda worn out. Must be back into the nose candy.

[trisham]

He looks embalmed.

[Dixie Yooper]

He's a woman-beater! Just ask Daryl Hanna.

[LottieDah]

Jackson Browne should talk...his first wife killed herself (it must have been hell being married to him) and he beat up Darryl Hannah. This guy is an sob of the first order.

I worked as a stage hand while I was going to college. One of the concerts I worked was Jackson Browne. It was one of the dullest, most insipid, drug out, overdone events I've ever had to endure. Every one of his songs sound the same, and after 2 hours of that twangy sniveling, you're ready to hurl. Even earplugs didn't help.

I've never been able to listen to him since.

[the invisib1e hand]

I did enjoy Running on Empty -- probably too much. But then again, I think I was 16 when I had the tape.

John Mellencamp said, back when he was "Johnny Cougar," that "we recorded our new album in 4 days. It takes Jackson Browne that long to tune his guitar."

Always got a kick out of that though, really, they're both rank dweebs, aren't they?

Brown is a dweeb, it says in the bible to first approach those who have done you wrong before going to a public counsel. I suspect he never read the bible, nor has a lot of these musical has been stars that are on the wrong sides of the issues today.

McCain however was no better in his judgment. A little homework would have exposed Brown for he pinko that he is, why couldn’t McCain’s people found a better spokes singer for their campaign? IF one is looking for a seasoned musician that has been around in public domain who’s songs are a part of American vernacular, why not choose from the following professed Conservatives?

Ted Nugent, Marie Osmond, Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Pat Boone, Johnny Ramone, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, ZZ Top, Foghat.... and many others...

There are a lot of contemporary artists too,,, McCain just dropped the ball on this, along with choosing Hart’s Barracuda song, there is no excuse for a campaign not doing its homework and picking Conservative musicians for their spoke singers and theme songs,
