Doesn't matter what he's singing, it goes straight to the softest spot in my heart.

I grew up with JB. Can't say why but I still love his music.

I'm not a big Jackson Browne fan, but I have to say I do like this song so much. Invokes a certain sentimental feeling for me. Thank you JB and RP.

As a child, I had my elder brothers coming home with all sorts of new LP's (at the time). During holidays I'd ask them by which song I'd like to be awakened next morning. They'd open up the doors downstairs, turn up the volume and put on the songs I'd asked. I remember asking for this song many many times.
Wonderful memories.

Jackson at his best. (Plus the Rene Magritte-influenced cover is one of my favourites.)

It's incredible how a negative rumour, once started, will NEVER go away. From the "Never let the truth get in the way of a juicy story" school of "journalism". And yes, this is a great song.

I'm sure everyone has his or her own ideas about which album(s) to start with, but my personal rec is to just start with his first one ("Saturate Before Using") and then go from there in the order in which the albums were released. It's not only methodical, but it's also a great way of hearing how his music has changed and progressed since his debut.  Happy shopping! {#Cheers}

One of my favorite albums - and album covers! - from the classic singer-songwriter era. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for JB, but "Fountain of Sorrow" is his best single work I think.

One of my all time favourite artist. I saw him do a solo show here in Ottawa. It was part of benefit celebration tied to the signing of the land mines treaty. Bruce Cockburn was the host and other performer. He was great and I agree with other regarding his stage persona. I woudl still like to have seen him with the full band.

Its amazing how amazingly lyrical Jackson is (to me). True Poet. The lovely pictures he paints with his words, blended with harmonies always draws me close.

It's still one of my favorite albums, because it makes me remember all the good times I had with Peggy before she was gone...

Then you reject most of art. Read up on great musicians, painters, writers, thinkers.... and many of them were fallible, sometimes severely so.

I always love the part in the movie Taxi Driver when this song comes on. It's eerie.
