The next time one of us sees Jackson Brown we will just have to ask.Angela
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

Ok.....Changing my vote!!
I just listened to this song 10 times, and this is what I think he said....
Well I'm a standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona
it was such a fine sight to see;
It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me.
Know I think he was definitely referring to the girl.Angela

The Very Best of Jackson Browne came with lyrics....
I just listened...
Without looking it up, I thought he sang "with such a fine to see..."
I checked the online lyrics because I don't have the album/disc, they agreed...
Well I'm a-standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona
With such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
I would think that the online lyrics for a song on an album that came with lyrics would just copy them... but just to be sure, does anyone have the CD? It was a 2 disc set, released in 2004... I wonder how many of you are going to go look for it now
"This first-ever, two-disc Jackson Browne retrospective also includes song lyrics and new liner notes. Among the album's many highlights are "Running On Empty," "Somebody's Baby," "Doctor My Eyes," "The Pretender," "Take It Easy," "The Load-Out/Stay," "Lives In The Balance," "The Night Inside Me," and many more."

Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
You come to my house
With your money in hand
You tell me that you want the best
I say, I do the best I can
Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
I went to see the [gooda]
He said, man didn't you know?
He had just come in from the islands
He brought the pakalolo
'Cause I'm the pakalolo man
I'm the pakalolo man
When in need, you call on me
'Cause I'm the pakalolo man
Pakalolo man
Now it is the good earth
It is the kind
It is the good earth
The good kind
Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
Pakalolo, Pakalolo man
I never, ever, ever touched the stuff after becoming a nurse and that's the truth. Just can't & won't do it. Would violate an oath and impair practice.

****
My Handy Man
Whoever said a good man was hard to find,
Positively, absolutely sure was blind;
I found the best that ever was,
Here's just some of the things he does:
He shakes my ashes, greases my griddle,
Churns my butter, strokes my fiddle;
My man is such a handy man!
He threads my needle, creams my wheat,
Heats my heater, chops my meat;
My man is such a handy man!
Don't care if you believe or not,
He sure is good to have around;
Why, when my furnace gets too hot,
He's right there to turn my damper down!
For everything he's got a scheme;
You ought to see his new starter that he uses on my machine;
My man is such a handy man!
He flaps my flapjacks, cleans off the table, He feeds the horses in my stable; My man is such a handy man!
He's God's gift!
Sometimes he's up long before dawn,
Busy trimming the rough edges off my lawn;
Oooh, you can't get away from it! He's such a handy man!
Never has a single thing to say,
While he's working hard;
I wish that you could see the way
He handles my front yard!
My ice don't get a chance to melt away,
He sees that I get a fresh piece every day;
Lord, that man sure is such a handy man!

Here is a picture of the corner, in Winslow arizona....
Take It Easy by The Eagles Song Images
I found out that the only line that Frey added was....
true...jackson browne DID get stuck in winslow, car broke down and he based that on his song "take it easy". also, frey only contributed the line "it's a girl my lord in a flat-bed ford slowing down to take a look at me" for "take it easy" and browne proclaimed that they co-wrote it.Angela

Originally posted by Beaglemom3I try to separate entertainer's personal lives from their professional ones, however, it does intefere with my listening to Jackson Browne.
I have no respect for abusive men or women for that matter.
But, the music lives on.

Originally posted by GlitterCat Stevens was no picnic, either... But I'll listen to Tea for the Tillerman til I go deaf in my old age...
I heard a comedian, forgot who it was, but reworked two of Cat's things:
"I'm being followed by a Sky Marshall, Sky Marshall, Sky Marshall"
"Tea for the Killerman"
I had to laugh.

“This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”
“You shouldn't wear that body.”
