Jackson Browne at My Hangout

by Jill Liberman, Harrisburg, PA

About 7 years ago I was at a (now defunct) favorite Tavern to listen to a friend of mine play some acoustic music. I get a phone call on my cell saying “Jill, you will not believe who is here” (Now bear in mind Jackson Browne is my all-time favorite) and friend proceeds to tell me after a lot of bad guessing on my part, who it was. JACKSON! He was there having dinner w/ his son Ethan.

Anyway, nobody in the restaurant part of this hangout knew who he was (all older women) but one of the younger waiters recognized Jackson’s famous gorgeous hair. Anyway, nervous w/the anticipation of seeing him no kidding, he walks into the Tavern area, takes a quick look about and WE HAVE MADE EYE CONTACT. Now, why he didn’t whisk me away in his Black 7 series BMW I have NO idea but I’d still be willing…

I made the decision not to approach him for an autograph or anything since he was there to have dinner and I just either have very good manners or was nervous as, well you know! That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! Have a great day!

    Jackson is also my all-time favorite. What an amazing thing to see him by chance like that! I’m not sure I could have restrained myself from telling him that he’s been my favorite for almost 30 years (no manners?). Or maybe I would have been too nervous, like you said! But how cool!
