Jackson Browne

I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday. ↗

You can take as much as you can from the generation that has preceded you, but then it's up to you to make something new. ↗

It was a great time to be born, because I got to have my own publishing company right from the beginning, so I made more money than somebody would have doing what I did ten or fifteen years before. ↗
