| Jackson Browne – For A Dancer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
JB said this was written about a dancer, sculptur etc. Who had died. It is not about his wife for sure. One of his very best, mu wife asked me to play this if she passes before me. Made me promise to. On the Album the next song is a rare upbeat "happy" song from JB. I'm glad he did it that way. |

| Jackson Browne – The Barricades of Heaven Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song means youth, glory, and riches all fade away at the "Barricades of Heaven" so you bet ter find redemption before you come to the gates. Why Jackson says he's from there is a mystery, unless he was inspired by an angel, possibly a fallen one. I dig the tune and the theme of the early years. I first heard this song on a C.D. that I bought at a pawn shop. It also had "Call it a loan" on it. Another one I had never heard and play a lot. Jackson is the "Dylan from L.A." |
