Appreciated his music and activism. I look in my mirror and don’t see much change but, Hey! I can relate. I think my generation..as other generations do..think our music was the best. A quick story..He was coming to my town and my friend was more of a fan than I was..no tickets. Somehow, she got a fake cast for her leg n tickets for front row seats as a disabled person. I was young but still not sure how this was gonna turn out. She hopped on that cast all night to the music n we hobbled to my car still in character. The most..or one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever done. We could see his eyelashes.. every time I hear his music..I smile🤗. Don’t mean to offend..

of the Diablo Canyon protests. I saw a photo of him taken by my girlfriend in a tiny room huddled with protest planners.
He has been sterling forever.

“The facility was the subject of controversy and protests, during both its construction and operations, including nearly two thousand civil disobedience arrests in a two-week period in 1981.”
(Considering how small the area was, that was an amazing protest size.)

Taylor. I’ve seen JT a dozen times but haven’t seen Browne in concert in 40 years. It’s about time.

He appeared with James Taylor. The original date of the concert was for May of 2020, and after the concert was postponed again in May of 2021, I wondered if we would ever get to attend this concert. Both men sang and sang, and it was fantastic. They sang "Take it Easy" together. I could have listened forever.

I saw J B first time in 1974 at the Roxy in L.A. Been a total fan since Saturate. Just saw him with James Taylor last month. Thanks for posting.

after a show at the Tivoli Theater. He was so pleasant to talk with and allowed me to take a selfie with him. He is without a doubt the most profound songwriter of my generation, and his songs have been a part of my life since I was 14.

with James Taylor. They were both great and JT came out at end of JB’s sets and they played together and then JB joined JT for the encores.

JB is still hawt.

The average age of the concert goers was probably 70.
