Radio Paradise (mobile)

Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must've thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
But I can't sing
I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
Crying is they ease you down
'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(Right on Dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(There's nothing you can do about it anyway)
Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
Just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
(The world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
That you'll never know

When I listen to these songs, there always are lines that make me stop and pause. And remember. And contemplate what may have been or, possibly, what might be. [ Reply ]

I've never seen them together...Both were overplayed, and have a whiny nasal sound...Browne is a bit less...But their music has a "I need to write a hit" quality...Like watching losers at poker or baseball swinging for fences every time... I'd rather hear some "Younger Brother" or "Lindi Ortega" or anybody under 50... Jackson Browne I can see... But do you honestly believe that Neil Young was trying to write a hit every time? That seems like one of the last things on his mind. [ Reply ]

Well, I guess the only other high point would be walking on the moon. You would have loved when he played here years ago to mark the signing of the land line treaty. Three artists of the bill each played about an hour and did a few tunes together. Artist were Bruce Cockburn, Jan Arden and Jackson Browne. [ Reply ]
JrzyTmata Jan 10, 2012 - 11:28	JrzyTmata wrote: don't believe everything you read in the tabloids The Non-Incident Here is a statement made by Lt. John Miehle of the Santa Monica Police Department in November 1992: "The Santa Monica Police Department went to the house where Jackson Browne lives regarding a possible disturbance. We resolved the situation in about five minutes. There was never any assault. There are no charges pending and no prosecution sought by or intended by the District Attorney. It is this department's intention that no citizen, regardless of who she is, suffer any kind of abuse, whether it be domestic violence or any other kind of assault. But in this case, absolutely no assault occurred. Our investigators tell us nothing happened. Nobody has even alleged that Daryl Hannah was even touched. If they had, we'd be investigating. We're not hiding anything. The press is trying to make more out of this than there really is, and it's unfair, not just to Browne, but to us. We did our job, and repeat, no crime occurred here. This whole thing is ridiculous." bump for Stingray, since he doesn't seem to backscroll through the comments. [ Reply ]

Can't remember if this one is on there but it's chock full of great tunes. [ Reply ]

I believe that he was referring to the "incident" between Jackson Browne and Daryl Hannah. Browne called the police because of Hannah's behavior one night, she accused him of getting physical, the police investigated and did not arrest anyone. No charges were pressed and I believe that Daryl Hannah has since recanted her accusations. [ Reply ]
