Happy Birthday, Jackson Browne

From Wiki:

Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has sold over 18 million albums in the United States. Coming to prominence in the 1970s, Browne has written and recorded songs such as "These Days", "The Pretender", "Running on Empty", "Lawyers in Love", "Doctor My Eyes", "Take It Easy", "For a Rocker", and "Somebody's Baby". In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and given an honorary doctorate of music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. In 2015, Rolling Stone listed him as the 37th greatest songwriter of all time in its list of "100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time".

My own note: Browne has been involved in many social justice and environmental causes as well, including Farm Aid, Amnesty International, and March 1979, Browne joined with several musician friends to found the antinuclear organization Musicians United for Safe Energy.

I really loved Doctor My Eyes, especially because that David Lindlay lap steel solo is so cool.
