Or maybe he needs to Doctor his eyes, nose and throat.

I hear he has some Lawyers In Love on retainer.

Nah, he just needs to stay quarantined a little longer.

Are you sure he’s not being a pretender about this?

She was a carrier to me when i needed one
Wasn't for her i would have stayed healthy
She gave me something that I didn't want
She could of turned out to be almost anyone
Almost anyone--
With the possible exception
Of someone who washed her hands
Running into the ICU
With her coughs whipping in the wind
Reaching into the heart of the darkness
For the infection within
Stumblin' into the crowds of the city
And then back into isolation again
Hanging onto the virus
That each of us tried to avoid
Talk about self isolation
And your food getting delivered
She wasn't much good at washing her hands--but
She could sneeze...
In the dead of night
She could spread a germ
On some places that you've never touched
In that kind of plague
You could lose your life
And believe you would pull through it
You could hold her tight
With all your might
But she'd give you the germ like a rat
And be back outside
Back into the crowds
Where you might contact trace her again
The longer i thought i could find her
The shorter my breathing became
Running in circles behind her
And thinking in terms of the blame
But she couldn't have been any sicker
If she'd come back and tried to explain
She wasn't much good social distancing--but
That girl was sick

Mike, that’s my second favourite JB song. That said, I like what you did with it.

It's definitely and underrated great from him, IMO.

It's a massively depressing song, but I like it all the same.

I saw Jackson Browne at the Fabulous Forum back in 1980 on the "Hold Out" tour. Very entertaining concert. I absolutely adored Rosemary Butler on backing vocals, David Lindley on the dobro guitar, and Russ Kunkel behind the drum kit.

I always liked his music, but years ago when I found out he beat Daryl Hannah, I lost all respect for the man and that's remained in the back of my mind.

That incident occurred long after I went to that concert, but yeah... not cool (if true).

I had never heard of that until now so I did some googling. I’m hoping I’m
not letting my love of his music color my impressions but it’s not a slam
dunk that he did it. Nor that he didn’t. It’s quite murky and neither he
nor Hannah are talking and he has successfully pursued defamation actions
that made Fox and one other smaller studio retract the allegations.

Sigh Why do people have to suck so bad?
