Hi Lucy I have been reluctant to post this but I know someone (very well) that is family with Jackson Brown, who told me that the whole hoopla about the Joni song about Jackson is BS and out of kilter with reality. SHE said that there Were times when things were strained ugly and shit flying, but that he never laid a hand on her. I am NEVER one to post about her personal life (or Jackson's for that matter), but seeing how I found this out in the last couple weeks I thought I would share it cause I hate reading the shit about her personal life in judgment (or his). Thanks for reminding me that he IS someone really sensitive and beautiful just like our Joan.
Best Paz P.S. People should NEVER take songs to be reality nor two dimensional discussion to be the end all word on truth.
