Make no mistake, JB does not hate this Country. He actually loves it and humanity enough to want to make it better for EVERYONE. Thanks so much for saying so eloquently what so many of us feel.
The guy does all his kind and benevolent deeds with quiet humility, Most people know him to only be a great musician and songwriter. This beautiful man is shy, aware of the frailty of life, and knows we must try to save and improve what we can while we are here. JB is a true mensch!
Wonderful speech by a very talented writer and musician who has shown great compassion, empathy and dedication towards humanity and improving our planet for all. May God bless him and his family, always.
Absolutely true , I had the honour of meeting him after a concert in Melbourne Australia. A kind caring and intelligent person . Humble and inspirational . A true gentleman and legend .
The countless hours I‘ve spent listening to Jackson Browne’s music have impacted my life and motivations in multiple ways that cannot be measured or analyzed. What I do know is that I am moved to act, to give back what I have available to me because I’ve sat on the sidelines too long in indecision and frailty. Mr. Browne my gratitude for you is immeasurable and your constant kindness and purpose are an inspiration for a broken world. Continue on to new pathways and find the venues for your untapped activism. I will do the same. Maybe you and me and the multitudes of people who give a damn will make a difference. I’m moved by your speech. Thank you.
I've been listening to Jackson Browne since 1976. I've seen him so many times in concert. He is such a gift to the world with his beliefs and compassion for those in need. He is truly magnificent!
My favorite musician for decades. The world would be much better if folks took his words to heart. I thought for a long time the world would move in the direction that he has written about, but current trends say otherwise. Makes me sad.
A well crafted Artist, meeting the needs of the present, economic, environmental, social rights.And he didn't compromise the future generations. Sustainable!! Beautiful songs that bring joy, and purpose...of innermost values...
Just want everyone reading this to know that, as someone who has met JB several times (and in fact, performed with him one time), he is as genuinely nice, humble and sincere as he seems.
Thank you, Jackson Browne, for your continued work on issues that should be more important to us all. You are a gifted song sculptor and generous spirit in a world that is growing darker. Bravo.
I read the book by Paul Hawkens -- will look up title. Jackson really gets it -- We are all One. When we subjugate some, whether it be a class/ group of people, ocean species, forests -- we harm ourselves. Operating with respect and sensitivity for others, for the environment, is acting for the good of all -- We are One. Glad to hear Jackson speak it.
Omg! Your speech is so awesome, my God! I've never heard a better speech in my life! Such truth, and honesty! You are so intelligent and caring, the more I learn about you! The more I respect you! I love you, Jackson Browne! You are the most brilliant man in the 🌎. And baby! You are a speech writer! I love you!
You are very articulate! So happy to see u are on tour...u still sound amazing. Saddened, just read about Jimmy Webb. Keep on moving. U deserve many awards! I agree with everything u say. Terrific words...Dina from NJ🙏🏻☮️💟✝️
After listening to Jackson speech, know I understand his touching words of all his music. I've been listening to Jackson since the early 70's. Always new he had a sincere heart. Now I understand HOW he is a incredible song writer. ✌✌✌
This man spoke to me so deeply where my father left off.... my father tried to teach me everything that this man talks about and sings about..... I became a fan of Jackson browne's early on when I worked at a music store selling records.... as a used listening to his music his top 10 chart music.... and then when I bought his album and listen to the rest of his songs and his words...... she reminded me of the foundation my father tried to instill in his children..... my first journey to the City by myself with my Sony Walkman plugged into my ears to Jackson Browne riding the bus for days riding the trains that took me many ways..... my journey was with Jackson Browne..... I'm older now and I know the importance of sharing his music with my grandchildren..... I remember riding the bus thinking I am the great Pretender as I go to my job..... I am walking with a bunch of people down the Avenue and nobody had a clue.... except for my brother Jackson Browne cuz he was singing in my ears..... this man is very humble and he is the most amazing man I went to his concert soon as he came through..... amazing man blessed with an amazing voice with an amazing heart and an amazing mind..... everything aligned within him..... it's called a blessing from God..... because God saw his heart... . He's a prophet..... a teacher..... and simple humble man....... forever Jackson Browne..... may God continue to bless you forever....... Jackson Browne is an incredible soul
Athough he is a reluctant Orator, Jackson Browne, is a more than qualified narrator of the worlds injustices, also of mankind's fooldhardiness and folly in it's care of the planet. Yet, in the grim reality of it, he is still able to offer a glimmer of hope, to all those, who feel it is lost. Bravo! Well deserved!
if only he also sang about the stealing of Palestinian land by Jewish fundamentalists in the Occupied Territories. But of course, any criticism of Israel- the USA's treasured settler colonial state and attack dog in the Middle East- is off limits for anyone who wants their records to continue selling..
@@jamescarr4662 That’s your narrow one-sided viewpoint. Israel (Jews) are often attacked for simply defending themselves and their right to exist. What is so threatening? I think it is the truth about mankind reflected back that people do not wish to see. Take your causeless hatred elsewhere. This is about celebrating Jackson Browne.
My first concert and first T-shirt-“No Nukes”-were Jackson Browne’s in 1978. I’m very happy my brother brought home the Pretender in ‘76, and so fortunate to listen to his music all these years.
Many of the comments praise his music, others thank him for his politics. Where are the comments that say “He inspired me to take this action: . . . . It is all for naught if we don’t act: vote, advocate, organize etc. I’m just an ordinary guy (not rich or famous) but I have led three successful local environmental campaigns. No brag, just encouragement to act on your beliefs & passions. Apply whatever talents you have. The world is waiting to respond to you. Indeed, you can make a difference. As Margaret Mead so wisely said “It only takes a small group of dedicated people to change the world. Indeed, that’s the only way the world has ever changed.”
Solidarity, Jackson. A well deserved award. Keep on the struggle. It's this time of year that I love listening to your, 'Rebel Jesus'. Peace and Love, Brother.
I've loved Jackson Browne's albums since I was in high school. I haven't liked all of the records he's put since 1980 and sometimes I've been annoyed by the political tract-ishness of his lyrics. But I've never doubted that his heart was in the right place. And I totally admire the political bent of his lyrics and life. God bless, Jackson!

We all know that everything he said is true. In 2023 it's is sadly more accurate. I like his music and politics, What an intelligent, kind, and humble soul.
Make no mistake, JB does not hate this Country. He actually loves it and humanity enough to want to make it better for EVERYONE. Thanks so much for saying so eloquently what so many of us feel.
I know we’re destroying the Earth all have Jackson Browne has done a lot to try to save that 0:26

We need more humans like Jackson Browne. He has always been so aware of injustices.
What an intelligent, thoughtful man. He gets what the world should be like. ❤️
Everybody knows what the world should be like but nobody knows how to get there
I've been listening to Jackson Browne since 1976. I've seen him so many times in concert. He is such a gift to the world with his beliefs and compassion for those in need. He is truly magnificent!
Keep up the good work! Here's to making America HUMAN again!
Great speech 💕🙏

Nothing absent of the ability of creating and making a wonderful speech much like a beautiful and embracing song.

JB is more than worthy!
Beautiful 🙏💕
Gosh, this is a brilliant speech. Thank you, Mr. Browne. You are an inspiration and you have the courage to speak truth to power.
Amazing 💕🙏
He seems like such a sweet guy. Love him, and his music.
Superb
I love him!
I love JB❣

“..including other’s dreams in your own.” If we all just did that, we’d get there.
Thank you my brother!

But I've never doubted that his heart was in the right place. And I totally admire the political bent of his lyrics and life. God bless, Jackson!
So very deserving!!
I'm blown away how Jackson can say he is the most inarticulate person you would ever meet. He has such an eloquent way with words.
If we could only clone his heart 🥰

He just gets Better!
Congradulations, my friend. The suit looks great. Bravo on the singing. There's the shower until this blows over.
A really great speach from a selfproclaimed bad speaker. Better than most selfproclaimed good speakers.
We all know that everything he said is true. In 2023 it's is sadly more accurate. I like his music and politics, What an intelligent, kind, and humble soul.
peace 🌹 ty
God Sent aman J B
I wish that I could record it.
Great speech 7:28

Waters protection 🌈
Sounds like Brad Pitt speaking.
I say more like Johnny depp
Written more than 2 years ago and even more poignant now a week before the next presidential election when American democracy is even more at risk
Daryl Hanna , or deceased wife unavailable for comment .
Jackson is one of my favorite musicians.I don t agree with alot of his politics!
I am the same way.
Thank You for all you do for the rest of us
WTG!!!
