I agree - JB did some very good albums up to The Pretender and made millions from the free market capitalism system. Eventually he moved to Spain and continued his socialism preach - typical left wing limousine liberal elitist.
Jackson Browne is the same as many artists. Their best work is done when young when that original pure spirit comes through. Late for the Sky was a masterpiece that other artists also hailed. How would you like to be Jackson Browne and the audience tries to get you to play “Fountain of Sorrow” for the thousandth time?
