Something about this Jackson Browne song sounds like something from "Graceland" at half-speed:

Some weird comments on that video. Like the first one:
Time can't touch this tune,. Good memories cruising with friends, jamming, drag racing,. Anything was possible in the night, we were lucky to had them. I'm 52 now. But it's fresh as yesterday.
Which means the guy was, what, 15? In 1983 or so? The comment is written like some grandpa extolling the '60s, not the early '80s. This is an OK song, but not the sort of thing that would (or should) make a teen want to tear things up.

I like this track, but I can honestly say it's never made me thinking about driving, much less drag racing. It sounds like something out of comedy, where a guy revs up his car, cranks up this tape and the other passengers are like WTF.

Like, "Breaking the Law"? Sure. "Tender is the Night"? Nope.

I love that song so much. It made me want to grow up so that I could meaningfully stroke my chin and think baout things, such as being in a sadly doomed romance. Drag racing was not on the agenda. It felt more personal and intimate than its close companion, "Lawyers in Love," which was mixed up with all sorts of Reagan-era apocalypolitical stuff. Whoever made that comment is either deluded or just plan weird.

Josh --
That YouTube comment is fairly typical.

It's just the cultural version of false memory syndrome, where everything in the past blurs into a fuzz of vague meta-nostalgia.
"Yes, I was born in 1975. Whenever I listen to Billy Joel's 'Keeping the Faith' or Paul Simon's 'Late in the Evening,' I am reminded of how much we enjoyed Sen-Sen mints and the many street-corner doo-wop groups in my neighborhood, and how the cars all had big fins on them. Then we'd go down to the diner, to see if the Fonz was there. Man, that Cuban Missile Crisis sure was something, wasn't it?"

After all, it was you and me.

I am reliably informed that you can't start a fire without a spark

he's very likeable in the eagles doc
taught glenn frey how to write songs (indirectly, frey was living in the apartment above browne, would wake up to the sound of browne's piano through the floor, listening to browne playing the same verse over and over, 20 times, until he had it down)

It's a good song.
I can still be undone by "Rock Me on the Water," or even "Tender is the Night."
