== Date of birth ==

 

I met Jackson in late 1959, and attended Luther Burbank Jr. High School in 1960. During the time that he and I ran around together, We became pretty good friends. The one thing that I had noticed about him, was that he was very dedicated to his Art even at such a young age!! I remember one day in particular, after school all the people that ran in our circle used to go accross the street from the school to a local hangout (a malt shoppe, can you believe it?) to listen to music and joke around, (one of our friends was Drummer Tommy Dvorak), but Jackson said that he couldn't go because he would rather go and practice the piano, My reply was, "What you doing, practicing to become a Rock Star", He (Jackson) just smiled and said, "You just never know!" I remember that the Brownes lived in a remodeled Monks Monastary, and when you entered their home you went through two large wooden arch doors that opened up into a courtyard (circular) and the rest of the rooms of the home were built around the courtyard. Very nice!! Jackson's class picture of 1960 is in the class yearbook "The Genius" at luther Burbank Jr. High School, Highland Park, Ca. 90042 Check it out. (My pic is in there too!)

I think any summary of his work should include the songs, "The Late Show", "Farther on" and "Fountain of Sorrow", all on the Late For The Sky album. These are easily top 5 songs of his. Any summary of Jackson Browne that neglects to mention these songs is not just an insufficient article, and an injustice to Jackson's musical genius and his legacy but an injustice to music quite generally. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.114.94.134|69.114.94.134]] ([[User talk:69.114.94.134|talk]]) 12:46, 8 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==1972 Tour==

I don't know if Jackson toured with Linda Ronstadt (so I left it as is), but I do know that he toured with Joni Mitchell in support of his debut album, since I saw them together in Detroit. They both had solo sets, which was a treat. Someone gave Joni a big bouquet of roses after her set and she started tearing up. Very sweet. Can anyone else verify if he toured with Linda as well?--mselledge-- <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mselledge|Mselledge]] ([[User talk:Mselledge|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mselledge|contribs]]) 03:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

 

==Hannah and Browne photo==

:I think the pic of Hannah is more appropriate because Hannah is more famous than Cohen (to the extent that such things can be accurately measured, which they can't). But why not put up a photo of Cohen also? And I'd like to hear more opinions on this so that the editors can reach some sort of consensus before removing the current pic.

: I think both pictures should be up on the page, there is plenty of room for more pictures. [[User:Millertime246|Millertime246]] ([[User talk:Millertime246|talk]]) 03:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
