“Once upon a time “ is the best start for any Wesley Willis song.

I can drive but the law says I can't this is my song

Thank you, youtube channel "misterballs"

A songwriter of enormous insight.

Tune. Rip Lainey and Dickie. Bass playing by my best mate Steve Charlton. Brilliant Album.

I can drive

Dang, this is heavy!

One of music's nicest transitions circa 5:20

Thank you for sharing ! 😊

Dad ❤️‍🩹

Yesssz

Wading through punk rock perfection now.

After dropping Acid a couple of times and listening to Jackson’s music, I was never the same. Bodhisattva

Dreaming about everyman

Aloha from the Island of Maui, SMK! Pu'u Honua O Pi'iholo! To all those who are of the same mind frame as Jackson Browne expresses here, (hopefully not anymore), "don't ask me if He'll show - I don't know.!?" Please, if you don't know the beautiful prophetic significance of this song, and the admonition to come to know, Jesus Christ, the real, one and only "EVERYMAN," who gave His Life for everyman, NOW, is the only time you have to Repent and believe the Good News of the Kingdom of God, and the King who will be here shortly! Speaking the Truth in Aloha, your friend and brother in Christ, Maka'ala Stone

I met this guy once. True story. Rock over London, rock on, Chicago. Walgreen’s. It’s the pharmacy America trusts.

RIP David Lindley

Wesley was one of a kind, he is a true artist in that he didn't let his Schizophrenia stop him and his music always puts a smile on my face, Rock on to eternity Wes!!!!!!!

Everybody I talk to is ready to leave With the light of the morning They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe That they've heard their last warning Standing alone Each has his own ticket in his hand And as the evening descends I sit thinking 'bout Everyman Seems like I've always been looking for some other place To get it together Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race And maybe find something better But all my fine dreams Well thought out schemes to gain the motherland Have all eventually come down to waiting for Everyman Waiting here for Everyman- Make it on your own if you think you can If you see somewhere to go I understand Waiting here for Everyman- Don't ask me if he'll show - baby I don't know Make it on your own if you think you can Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand Then you're going to need a hand Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one Who can give them the answers And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun Where sweet childhood still dances Who'll come along And hold out that strong and gentle father's hand? Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout Everyman Waiting here for Everyman- Make it on your own if you think you can If you see somewhere to go I understand I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan Turn and walk away if you think I am- But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman

plodding, fatiguing, monotonous waiting for something to make it- never happens. rising and falling well within a narrow envelope. good organ tho.

David Crosby - backing vocals ... I've heard that this song is a response to DC's song 'Wooden Ships'.

As a disabled person this is my anthem

He was a genius.

ONCE UPON A TIME

Aloha from the Island of Maui, SMK! Pu'u Honua O Pi'iholo! To those with ears to hear! To the gathering of the Lord's Last Generation-Remnant Ecclesia of Living Stones! (That were embedded in the Baby Boomer Generation!) The significance of this beautiful song, for those who know the prophetic Word of God, in its application of the Present Truth (December 14, 2022), should bring Joy to our souls as we patiently wait for "EveryMan;" as we keep His Commandments; and, as we live out the Faith and Righteousness of Him, Who, gave His Life that we may have Life Everlasting! Speaking the Truth in Aloha, your friend and brother in Christ, Maka'ala Stone

insanely beautiful!

A great artist with an incredible talent

Traffic jam type of groove

Genuinely amazing. God bless you Wesley

I love how these songs just bleed into the tracks of the LP. Our lady of the well - what a masterpiece.

This guy says the word “ass” like he invented it.

One of the best songs ever. Thanks Jackson.

Amazing, love his writing, music he's just the best,. Thank you for all of your wonderful music helping me through life.

WRONG SPEED.

good one.

I love WW and I’m so glad he found music. He really had fun and you can’t NOT have fun listening to his music.

darrell brown be like

Me when I can't drive

Like unironically Wesley Willis Fiasco kicks some major ass.

Legend.

Phenomenal. How have I never heard this before?!

Thank you for uploading! I believe that this was an answer song to the David Crosby song "Wooden Ships". I seem to remember reading somewhere that this song has also been compared to Jackson Browne's own song "Rock Me On The Water" (I can't remember where I read that, but I also seem to remember from that same source, that both songs have been interpreted as being about an apocalypse, but with the apocalyptic theme being more subtle in this song than in "Rock Me On The Water"). As with any song centered around a theme of "waiting", this is another one that resonates for me in the midst of COVID (now that there are new mutations of the virus, such as the infamous "Delta" variant, the end of the pandemic is something that virtually everyone is "waiting for", and songs whose lyrical content that can be interpreted as being about an apocalypse, also resonate for me in COVID). Back to this song, according to the album's liner notes, David Crosby performs the backing vocals on here. Other musicians on the track include Jackson Browne himself playing acoustic guitar, along with guitarist David Lindley, organist Mike Utley, pianist Craig Doerge, bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Russ Kunkel. BTW, who could give Jackson Browne a dislike?

My favorite leatherface tune.

Always a comfortable feeling in my heart and soul with his music..

Yet another heartfelt question from the shining soul of Jackson Browne. In a universe of free will, do you love your brother/sister, or don't you.? Well do ya, punk?

Where can I find the acoustic version?
