I have seen JB and David Lindley on Aug. 1 at the Roman Anfitheatre of Ostia Antica (Rome). Wonderful place and wonderful music. Both them have been great (as they are).

Jackson seemed to play for an audience made of friends.

I have seen Jackson many times in Rome, but this is the first time he plays with David. I hope to see them more often. Bye.

I am back. I had no idea JB had a new album. It's pretty good. Always is. I was wondering, Kenny Chesney is a big fan. Has anyone noticed the simularities between his Greatest hits and JB's I'm alive? Look at the covers.

I took my time to write this review. I went to watch Jackson in Manchester's Bridge Water hall (excellent venue) on the 9th of August this being the second time I've seen him live and again he was sheer brilliance. All the songs he sang were as good as each other and having David Lindley there made the performance go even better. There was a man who played the bonjo's and he added to the performance being memerable for me.

Jackson at one point invited a rodie onto the stage to play his guitar which made me an the auidience laugh but again the lad was good. My favoriate song of the night was his last song Looking East and my dad's was Lives in the Balance. This takes nothing away from all the other songs being excellent. I want to thank Jackson again because I had a good night and I was starstruck seeing him. Thank you Jackson. Me and me dad look forward to seeing you perform again.

I'm an Australian music freelance writer for many music magazines around globe... the reason I'm writing is that each month I feature an archival interview with an artist conducted in the past. Last month it was Bryan Adams from 2002. This month (Sept.) I've posted an interview I conducted with Jackson Browne back in 2002. Would you be kind enough to post a note on your website/forum about it so fans can check it out? I'd appreciate it. I also have a Browne pic on my site too in my gallery section.

Kind regards,

Dear Jackson Browne,

I've wanted to thank you for many years. I know I'm just a face in the crowd, a stranger, not really anyone in your real life but, I can't help but feel that your soul has touched me through your music and has made my life richer and more meaningful. I suppose that the oddity of being a public person - is that you have a much larger circle than you could ever imagine.

Anyways... I just wanted you to know that your music is more than just a fad. I remember back in the early seventies when my father took me to Peaches music store in Cleveland and let me pick out my first album. I chose the Eagle's Greatest Hits. And, when my hippie brother left for California I acquired The Road and the Sky from his collection. Not long after that I purchased The Road. Now I'm well into my forties and when a song comes over the radio or a CD plays one of your albums, I stop whatever I'm doing and smile. It's the same feeling as seeing a true friend.

I had a fairly solitary childhood due to a birth defect that made me look different from other children and difficult to make friends at an early age. I learned to revel in music and art and let them fill gaps of loneliness. Yeah.I guess this is sounding pretty sappy but, I find that through the years your music always speaks to my heart and I can't thank you enough. Now I'm a fairly well adjusted adult. I'm active in my community and successful to a decent degree in all of my explorations of the working class.

Well...I just felt that I owed you a long overdue thank you. Thank you for caring about our world, our country and humanity. Thank you for sharing. You are a shining soul that this world is better off because you are here. I think, too, that you helped me bring out the artist in me. Beauty is only seen when one feels serene and I think your music helped bring a perspective that was felt and slowed me down enough to see.

Thanks, eh?
