This is a video episode of the After the Deluge Podcast, which goes through every Jackson Browne album one episode at a time. Search any After the Deluge on you podcast app and scroll to S1. I usually turn the video off for podcast interviews (supposedly that improves audio quality) but a peak-pandemic Zoom call with Jackson Browne was too enticing. So I kept it on, and now I'm sharing it.

I meet Jackson Browne 42 years ago I was dating his bus driver I went with him on his tour for along time.He was sure a real person but when I first met him I was so close to him I was shaking I didn't know what to say I felt if I look at him I would die.I was a young girl from a small town and Southern I was like a fish out of world.He had his son with him I just kept talking to his son because I was really just freaked out I didn't know if I was even breathing it caught me not ready to do that it was in a front check-in at a hotal .I bet he must had know I was so scared are I was a crazy but I won't look in his eyes .He s so insightful I felt he ed see my soul just then.I didn't know why I was so scared he was beautiful in person and so nice .I just wanted him to know I wish I could had told him that day I really enjoy him as a singer and Thank You for been soon wonderful to me.
I think that would be -fish out of water. Ok, not the best English. Jackson might have sent his kid to school.
Do us all a favor woman. Don't post anymore comments, until you at least have SOME CLUE, as how to compose a sentence in English, along with proper spelling, grammer, sentence structure, and at least some collective thoughts , which you've at least given minimal thought to. Not being mean purposely, but you honestly write worse than a 5 year old, if in fact, that 5 year old had the ability to write.
So very sorry you felt like a " fish out of world. " That's absolutely horrendous. Hopefully, you can reintegrate back into your little world, honey.
What a humble ,decent ,down to earth guy ! It's so refreshing to hear someone who in every sense could boast about his achievements ,but refuses to ... Thankyou Mr Browne .
I listen to Jackson Browne everyday ❤
thanks for giving him his pauses of recollection. What you got from him through patience is really the good stuff.Well done.
I think you guys hit it off right from the beginning. To just listen to a conversation rather than an interview as such is far more interesting and open and honest. Yes Jackson is a great guy with a ton of humanity there but he obviously enjoyed something different with the way you both connected. Cool but very warm. 😊
I love this interview. Jackson is so candid. I just love him and his music!
Thanks Ellen!
what a legend!!! I was in line with him at our local Vons once eons ago...too nervous to say anything....so glad he is friends with my vocal Heroine goddess Linda Ronstadt, and helping her and so many others....God Bless our National Treasures...thank you for sharing!!!
♥
This was such a cozy conversation. I'm really glad it was not a standard interview, this was much nicer. Thanks to both of you for doing this. Let's talk more this way.
Imagine Picasso, Vincent van Gogh , Shakespeare and Beethoven chumming around after high school wondering what their gonna do with their lives , what a time that was , amazing
When the radio station “The Mountain” launched in Seattle, the FIRST song was Rock Me On The Water! That song speaks VOLUMES!
He is truly the definition of a beautiful HUMAN BEING,, open, honest, passionate, caring, real and on and on and on.. too many other words. We have seen him 30+ times and we are amazed every time he performs!
It amazes me that the most brilliant artists, such as Jackson, are so humble and struggle to explain their ideas. It gives me hope that through my struggles to express myself, I can get the words right. I love these older folks and their wonderful example of conscience and love.
Your lyrics have weathered the years & grown with my life in the strangest ways! Thanks, Jackson, you’ve been there for ALL of my awakenings!✌️❣️🌟
I discovered jackson in 1975. I've seen him countless times in concert.
Jackson, you are a truly beautiful soul and compassionate human being. Thank you for all you do for humanity.
His “The Pretender” was a masterpiece!
No way Doctor My Eyes was the gigantic conceptual masterpiece. Everything else falls into the shadow of that one song, which starts off as a riddle and ends with the answer in the last line of the song.
This is proof to me that the arts are ESSENTIAL❗️
Glad to have come across this interview. Good stuff. Thanks. 😊
An absolutely great interview.
Thanks so much! It's something I'll hold close for the rest of my life.
I saw Jackson in early December 1976 in Glasgow Ecosse , I have enjoyed his music ever since that Concert. Thank you Mr Browne for all you have given this World in the words in your Lyrics and of causes of concern to you and other unprejudiced beings.
I love you, Jackson Browne! I am a lifelong fan,you're my fantasy husband. I love your new album. I love everything about you. You're simply the best! 4ever"mylove
Alway good to hear Jackson talk. He is so interesting and insightful.
This is one of the most enjoyable interviews with Jackson I’ve seen. And I’ve seen nearly everyone available. I’ve seen him 35 plus times in the uk, Ireland and once in Spain and love the band and the solo acoustic formats and I love the fact you got him for so long. He appeared to love talking with you.
Having Dave Lindley's vocalist is a huge treat.
Yeah, good to finally hear from him.
I grew up listening to Jackson Browne's albums. My sister had them all and then I had them all and was so blessed to see him and Joe Walsh in Santa Fe for a No Nks concert. I was 16, and my best friend had been killed the year before by a drunk driver and so I needed this concert. Thank you for this great interview!!
Awesome interview. !!!...gotta Love Jackson..saw him in the small venu in Sturgeon Bay Wi....I asked him to play " Too many Angles"..he said he didn't have that guitar....but he played it anyways...
Your Brillant Jackson! Awesome Interview 👌 👏 💜👩💜
Downhill from everywhere just another masterpiece added to his legacy . I think his life could be a movie with n amazing soundtrack. Fave lyric ever "When you've been near me I've felt the love stirring in my soul". - Jackson Browne (Your Bright Baby Blues)
If the oceans die, we die! Gotta defend Mother Earth!✌️❣️🌟
58 mins of refreshment. Thank you both.
This is a great interview. I subscribed! Oddly, I have seen many aspects of Jackson's lower floor but have never seen him in his upstairs kitchen. :) Also, really great to hear him speak of the quarter tones line, which I have also thought could be a stronger line. In fact, I have tried replacing that line but have never come up with anything worthwhile. Thanks for posting this... :)
So nice to hear from Jackson these days
Was fortunate to see you in Madison, WI. last month . Was supposed to have tickets for the Orpheum in Omaha but my husband hit the wrong button. It was worth the 450 mile trip to see you in WI.!
I was in my glory watching Jackson at the Madison show.
Such a big part of my younger years. Love that guy
That was a really cool/sweet talk with Jackson…enjoyed every second. What’s really ironic is I spent the day alone in my music room playing guitar along with many of his videos…I’ve been a fan of his music seems like forever…he’s a few years older than I… but not much so I could always kinda relate to his music.
Anyway keep up the interviews, I appreciate how you let him speak without interrupting, great job. He comes off as a very likable cat…which is very cool “these days”. Peace & love…Cheers
Last time I saw Jackson in Portland Maine. He had missed coming for awhile.. I believe he was bailing out his Mom. Arrested at a no nukes rally. you go Man!! You and Neil Y ..my guys at heart👍since the 70s
Love this video! It’s so pure, simple and honest. With Jackson, sitting in his kitchen, making time for a true fan. I’m so happy for both of you ❤ One to re-watch multiple times.
Really appreciate it! ♥
he was the prince of our generation......
The worst thing you can do to a person who’s made mistakes is remind the of them😉✌️❣️🌟
How don to earth and at the same time heavenly ! Thank You for this interview!
I have always been a Jackson Browne fan, and it was fun for me to learn that Jackson Browne's mother, Beatrice Koeppel, was my teacher. I was in the Creative Writing Club that she sponsored, and I often wonder if Jackson ever read MY words in our club's publication, The Paper Bag. John H. Francis Polytechnic High School, 1975-1977
My dad and all of his siblings when to Poly High as well and one of my uncles took her class. Very cool that you were in Jackson Browne's mom's Creative Writing Club!
Jackson, so delighted to listen to you.
I so admire your talent. Along with just being so real! Your fans (myself) can relate to so many things you write and sing about! Thank you 😊
By the way your concert at Red Rocks last September! Outstanding 😎
My friend and I got stuck on Top. AFTER the concert. Security came to get us. Dropped us off at our car. Just when your tour busses were leaving. I waved and yelled Thank you JACKSON 😊 IT was a memoriable night 🌙
💜😎💜
Miss you jackson browne
Great interview. Thank you!
Thanks Donna! Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved your whole podcast series, which I found when it first came out. He’s just the best.
The sooner we stand together in peace & love the sooner we’ll rise above✌️❣️🌟 LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS SHINE YOUR LIGHT!❗️🙌🏼
I get you and your songs Jackson. Always have since we were kids. I love listening to you share yourself. You are such a real amazing person. I love this video.
What a wonderful conversation. I am always ready for these moments
Thanks so much!!! This is the conversation I’d have liked to have with him the 3 times we met and I was too in awe too speak.❤ A real treat.
Jackson is one of the BEST songwriters EVER! He’s played a HUGE role on the soundtrack of my life. Love everything he’s ever collaborated on! Thanks for helping this activist stay in touch with what matters; LOVE❗️✌️❣️🌟
Love that he acknowledges David Hidalgo. One of my favorite voices in the world.
Thank you Jackson for explaining your process in this song - I’m a singer songwriter and I have studied your work since I was young - it’s time for me to do more digging in my writing - a nd you kn ow I am VERY interested in those FACTOIDS you mentioned. you're so right about the session guys that MAKE the song. I wish there were a way to go back and get them their due if the song gets somewhere....
Thank u, it’s 3 in morning. I’m listening to one of my favorite artists. I pop out of bed and write 4 verses of a new song. Thank u!
Quite possibly my favorite interview ever.
I'm glad Steve!
I admire Jacksons history of speaking up and being active 🐬about the planets health 🦋and humanitites🫶 collective well being, then he writes songs that stop me in my tracks🪷 and can have me hugging myself and wiping tears, like In the Shape of a Heart 💖 or dancing and singing out loud like Stay or Doctor my Eyes. Simply Wonder😇ful. Very enjoyable interview, thank you!
Wow he is so amazing just an ordinary guy so humble and honest I love him
A fine interviewer and a nice interview too.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh I'm enjoying this so much!! 💐
Interesting. I am adopted and finding my genetic family was seminal to the development of my identity. A similar journey. JB should do more of these interviews. He was popular before we knew who the people were behind the songs on the radio. I had no idea.
Great interview! I love to see how accessible he is talking about his singing. His voice is as honest and beautiful as ever 'these days' and that smile ♥
Jackson Brown is amazing,
Great discussion! I know he’s talking about so many serious topics, but I’m still my 16 year old teen-age mess from the 70’s when I see him. ❤❤😂
Who goes there?? Hahaha J.K.
I remember seeing part of this interview thanks for the Extended.
Very Cool.. 😃
Blessings to you Both and your Families in 2023. 🌎✌

Awesome shows. I've enjoyed everyone of them. That I've attended. I took my dad to the Spokane arena to see him and Tom Petty, before Dad passed away, and it was awesome. Cant wait to see him again. My family is all about Jackson Browne so much my sister named her son Jackson after Jackson Browne and I call little Jackson Clyde lol my sister kept asking why I call him that. Well look up Jackson Brownes name. Perfect
Val is fabulous!
I’ve listened to JB since I was 14, I’m 63 now.
I listen to this interview and it’s really hard to keep track of what he’s talking about. Lolol.
Every sentence he says is about something different.
There’s no one better. Always looking at ways to raise awareness. Why I named by little guy after this tremendous human being.
Awareness about what?
Introspective. He has forever sown seeds for every future generation.
my favorite poet
I still see the 30-ish Jackson Browne looking at us through those eyes.
Sure, I had heard _Doctor My Eyes_ when it was getting a lot of airplay, but the first time I heard _The Pretender_ I knew I had heard one of the greatest *records* ever written.
THAT piano, THAT voice, the sound of THAT band, *AND THOSE LYRICS* Wow! 🧨
When you know the Salish people, you know the Salish Sea. Great interview.
Insightful. 👍
Thanks Linus! 👍

Jackson Browne, Peter Gabriel, Steve Winwood, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Kenny Loggins, Neil Diamond, Graham Nash, Neil Young, Don Henley... have some the best lyrics!
My wife and I feel so fortunate to have seen most of them live. Recently we surprisingly ended up with front row center seats to see Jackson Browne in Woodinville, WA 9/16/22. The evening was amazing!!!
The first time I saw Jackson Browne live was during the Running on Empty tour on New Year's Eve in '77 at the Los Angeles Forum with my first girlfriend.
@@-linus1688 Very cool! I'm up in the PNW too and a friend of mine took his family to that show in Woodinville. So cool! (Also live at the Running on Empty tour in the Forum... perfect time to see him!)

A timely tune:

looking forward to listening to interview
Lawyers in Love is just as strong of a message today as it was when he put it out in 1982, i think. Lawyers have all the attentions on the news.
Long live Val’s solos!!!!❤
❤ aho old wonderful gifts from d record of a wonderful life gracefully time we are are so grateful to have dance laughs tears thank you Jackson brown when heaven called you and the longer the better on the day heaven welcomes you d sun moon and stars will rock the universe we will cry you a river that burst the banks you and pairs ie jonie Michelle James Taylor stevie wonderful Bob marly ect Jackson when listening to songs I saw a a email say how sad it was to you growing old ❤ Jackson you are growing young beautiful just like good wine gets better with time ❤love you Jackson ❤
it makes sense!!!
Hello 👋 bose
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
Great interview, I just love JB.
What is ‘Orcas’? Mentioned at the end, I’m in the UK, other than the sea beast it means nothing!
It's an island north of Seattle called Orcas Island. You take a ferry to get there and it's very pretty. (The whales live around there too!)
@@AftertheDeluge thx for the info, I’m planning six months music based tour of the USA, I’ll add it to the list!
Thx👍🏻
🌹
Jackson I have to say I dont recognize you. But I love you. I really do.
Great interview. I wonder, though, how can Jackson talk so frankly about his musicians, solos etc., and never once - unless I missed it - talk about David Lindley? I often thought that Brown and Lindley were like "a hand in a glove". Is there something I missed?
That's sort of on me! I bet he'd have gone into it if I asked. If you check out the For Everyman, Late for the Sky and Pretender episodes of the podcast we talk about Lindley a TON. Not the same as Jackson talking about him but yeah, Lindley's the man.

Do it Jackson, buy some land, and do nothing with it except plant more trees. We tried that with our little hobby farm until we had to sell it, the woman who bought it ended up being some sort of land exploiter, cut down all the maples, and built a road over the wetland. That was 25 years ago and I am still hurt over that for many reasons, one of which is that she lied to us about her intentions. Knowing someone would just buy land for wildlife to use is a dream of mine. I wish more people would do it.
contingencies can be written into the contract in the sale of any property. A lot of people do not realize this.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jackson Browne but JEEPERS, the interviewer sure talks a lot!
LISTENING FROM LYNNWOOD! Hi NEIGHBOR 👋
All of the bands I livestream do solos!
❤
Some people in 1776 took matters into their own hands. The winners are worshipped and the losers are condemned. Subject matter and moral outcomes are irrelevant.
Very interesting and thoughtful guy. Just saw him last week. The show is a combination of what he wants to say and what we wanted to hear. Unfortunately, though his activism is clearly sincere, the subjects he has chosen to write about over the past several decades are not in his wheelhouse. They sound forced and one-dimensional. His writing over his first 5-6 albums was introspective and universal. Songs from the heart (or the funny bone, like Redneck Friend) always beat songs from the head.
Interesting story re what was the impetus for a song. My wife is from Hidalgo. Jackson has always related to liberal left issues. I remember no nukes etc. Nothing wrong w that view. Funny w my wife being from Hidalgo and living in the Mexican part of a town that's become 60% Spanish. Kids not knowing what parents home culture was not a big fear of loosing. I see it every day. Then there comes the pisa/ pocho thing. The border is a blessing and a curse for the crossers as it is for people here. The ideal of people looking for a better life has changed. The sad change in the dynamic is the cartels doing. Of course the appetite for drugs of United States gave/ gives the cartel it's prime source income. Lately they tax crossers. Many crossers arrive in the US owing the cartels thousands. I gather they just add a fee like Mafia charged fro protection. So when that person is here they are required to pay the bill that usually means working off the debt. Some examples might be meaning an illegal pot farm in the desert. Stealing water and keeping locals and police away by issued m16s. Another is being a mule. Cartel doesn't want to risk taking illegal stuff across. Mules get to take the risk for them. Then the most Insidious is forcing people into sex business. I hear about war on human trafficking and I see the porous border supplies the cartels w many bodies to manipulate. When I hear parents send their kids for better life I shudder about their naivete. Many come for a better life and expect they will work hard and life will get better. Some come to work an angle. The border has always been a risky place with people on the make on both sides. Now with the huge volume largely an effect of knowledge that border rules won't be really enforced. I'm all for the crossers searching for opportunity I'm sad that crossers HAVE BECOME an opportunity for the cartels to mess with. ....... the interview very cool. Loved how Jackson pointed out how do you pay someone for a great lead. Also his talk re many guitars. Em......dang that is a great tuning. Haunting feeling.
Thanks.
If I could sing I would sing all of your songs to you. But I sound like a dying cat
Nice reference
❤💜❤️💜❤️💜👀✌️🤍💌💯💥💫

this guy is too much different I cant count his brilliant songs....I remember Running in Empty & Late for the Sky LPs....even an Early Days ADAM SONG ,HE STANDS NEXT TO CSN DAN FOGELBERG JIM CROCE DON MCLEAN AMERICA AL STEWART THE MOODY BLUES THE EAGLES GARY BENSON AND MANY MORE
A lot of our people came here respecting and obeying immigration law.
Why do these interviwers talk so much??!! Whocaresyouknow
I do kinda talk a lot in this one huh. Suppose this is more of a conversation than an interview. Couldn't help it!
Was he really found to be physically abusive to girlfriend Daryl Hannah?
I would like to know why jackson and James taylor - who were on the same bill a yr or so ago
Only played 2 songs we were familiar with - it was bazaar - as we walked out after the show everyone was quiet - I made the comment that I wanted my $$ back - then people started to comment - Everyone was a bit bewildered - no running on empty or sweet baby blues- only 2 hits - the rest were his new stuff - it was awful - both of them - tickets were expensive - People want to hear the iconic songs - not the mediocre songs about reflection and politics -
I still want my money back
Aww, I’ve listened to Jackson for so long, it’s a bummer he has such contempt for the right wing. I’m a conservative, a “right-winger”, who believes the election was stolen, and I love his music.
I hate it when the interviewer speaks more than the person being interviewed
Totally that dude talked way too much.
