Powerful Lyrics from a performer I followed at the time this was a hit.

They are prophetic for this time and this condition - just not sure he meant them for this scenario. It is comforting to know that many of those listening to Jackson Browne in 1972 are now MAGA. The angst of the 1960's are being played out now at the "senior" level - now that we are retired and just as frustrated as we were in 1968.

I hope Jackson Browne is reading this and agrees.

Having heard him do a fundraiser and talk a little, not thinking he is MAGA. But who knows.

Browne is probably not, but statistically, about half who listened to him are now MAGA voters because of the frustration and fear Browne captured in his lyrics post-1960's.
