Jackson Browne – The Barricades of Heaven Lyrics 17 years ago
I think JordanMacPhee sums it up pretty well. It's all about coming of age, being passionate about music, and ultimately getting into the music business. I especially like your thoughts about what redemption and the barricades of heaven mean in the context of the song.

I believe that the "Paradox", the "Bear" and the "Rouge et Noir" in the second verse refer to clubs they played music in in southern California.

One of my favorite songs.
