| I've just heard something about a book of photography he's got
out also! He's either donating the money raised to AIDS research
or the photos are of folks living with AIDS, something like that.

| I have The Pretender and Jackson Browne albums. The Pretender is
supposed to be one of his best but I find most tracks immemorable.
I bought Jackson Browne (his first?) on the strength of Something
Fine, a truly great track.
For guitarists, retune to the special tuning recommended and play
as annotated in the music and it sounds brilliant.

Re THE PRETENDER being his best album Richard, I think that's a
long way off the mark.
Personally, LATE FOR THE SKY or LIVES IN THE BALANCE I think would
qualify more as his best albums.
But you're right about his first album JACKSON BROWNE - not just
for 'Something Fine', but also 'Jamaca Say You Will', 'Doctor My
Eyes' etc.

| Hi there,
I believe the new album is out this week if not already.
He was on Stereo sequence, couple of weeks back, giving the presentator
stick for his apathetic attitude to the environment. JB has certainly
gone 'ozone friendly' and his new album apparently reflects this.
He's also been involved, I think, with the single 'Spirit in the
Forest', along with many other big names.
Sam.
Ps. Another chappie who sings about his views John Cougar Mellencamp
is on Stereo Sequence, Radio 1, this weekend - but don't hold
me to it!

| JB did two nights at Great Woods about ten days ago and,
unfortunately, from what I've heard only half filled the
place. Seems he's developed the Jim_Kerr_syndrome (out to
right all that ails this earth) and the public think he
may be carrying it a bit too far.
It'd be a shame if his beliefs actually started alienating
his fans

| Americans think he is too political as it is,especially after Lives In
The Balance(which is my favourite).This has many hard hitting songs
aimed at the American goverment but none more so than soldier of
plenty.

Just as a matter of interest Mitch, does your average American punter
disapprove of his political style because they don't like what he's
saying, or because they're generally not very interested in politics?
Would you believe I actually got the incredible chance of asking
THE man himself after his concert in Edinburgh in 1986. I asked
him how songs like SOLDIER OF PLENTY and LIVES IN THE BALANCE were
received in the US, as I know that Regan-bashing at that time was
not very popular. He said that he was just part of a growing trend
of artists who were becoming more concerned at the policies
(particularly foreign ones) of their government, and were prepared
to voice these concerns through their music. He mentioned Don Henley
and a few others whom I can't remember (I was dumbstruck that Jackson
Browne was actually speaking to *me*)
