I have never gotten the kick against Jackson Browne. I've loved him since "Saturate Before Use" and the last time I saw him perform a full set live, 2004, he blew me away. That was the night after he was inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame and Springsteen came out and sang "Take It Easy" with him. Browne will be at the Beacon Theater on Saturday and I wouldn't miss it for the world. It's sold out so hie thee to stubhub.
