LYRICS:
Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
The sky was on fire
When I walked to the mill
To take up the slack in the line
I thought of my friends
And the troubles they've had
To keep me from thinking of mine
Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
The moon has a face
And it smiles on the lake
And causes the ripples in Time
I'm lucky to be here
With someone I like
Who maketh my spirit to shine
Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
Written by Warren Zevon

Hard to believe he's been gone for 18 years now. Where does the time go... Thanks for a beautiful cover, JB.

"It's filled with both doom and gratitude" is such a beautiful phrase to capture Warren Zevon's essence

[@marymckim4822]

…and those of us who live in the hinterlands and won’t get to any of your concerts, just knowing you are back out there, doing concerts, bringing people back together in love and joy and blessing… the world needs this kind of healing. We have all missed being part of live performance this past year and more. Maybe someday you’ll be back to this corner of the world as you were in 2011. But even if you’re not, knowing you are back on the road again somewhere brings comfort and healing. Blessings.🌻

[@rattified]

Kendyl i couldn't help but notice your last name when i read your really nice comment to J. Browne ☺ - my brother has a friend whose last name is "Houdashelt" which I've always thought was so unusual & random... LOL. They call him Houdy as a nickname. Anyway 😄😄Cheers. 🥂

[@kendylhoudyshell1399]

@@rattified thanks for the message. The background on Houdyshell is from German/Dutch heritage. My past relatives were wheat farmers in Kansas. I grew up in California 🙂

Jackson Browne and David Letterman have done so much to help keep Warren’s memory alive. They both did a lot for his career as well.

[@jamesarseneau4665]

Sublime. Great homage to Warren- almost 20 years gone, but his songs never age a bit

[@Souljourns]

Dear ole Jack, it's a large cosmos you're swimming in, Whether you are near by (Coronado, Ca.) or using new wings passing through the ethers. I feel your happiness and I sense your presence. There is just the one...being - aware - bliss, and you are that, unborn, without death. You are alive in the never ending vibrations of Jackson's creative heart and voice. As am I. What joy we have found, it is the gift that knows nothing else...but to give. And as with others here Jack, I share this bountiful love with you. And with one another. Ted, on the trail right behind you.

[@phillipgreene2564]

Mr. Browne, I am greatful for your effort here from a thousand miles you appear with so many shows in a row and your sound--it lifts the strain. We are quenched by this fountain when sorrow floods in our brain.

[@alindezane7894]

Thank you so much old friend. Warren is smiling upon all of us!

[@gabrielfariasjr6097]

Let us be brave and let us play nice and let us be together tonight.

I absolutely love your music and all you stand for. Ive been listening to your beautiful lyrics and cords since 1975. I remember being with my friend of 50+ years when one of your new songs came on the radio. Ive seen you in concert so many times. You are such an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing your talents and poetry with the world for as long as you have. I look forward to hearing more new songs.

[@karenstepp669]

Thanks so much for this one Jackson. It's very special because of the bond that was between you and Warren. I never even heard of him until he was gone, when you would mention his name. He was a beautiful person just like you are, and your relationship with each other was a beautiful thing. Even though I was late to know of him, I still grieve at what the world lost when he left it. You are an awesome friend to him. 💙

This was Jackson's opening tune at Pantages Theater; last USA concert that I know. Gave me deep gratitude for the years he's been with us. Gratitude for our health and life itself!

[@ProudAmericanValdez]

Was a great show. I took a video of some of it, and my aunt got a kick out of them because she was a big Jackson Brown fan. Sadly she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 2 months later and passed away 3 weeks ago. I came back to this song for her.

[@gcuest1]

October, 2023: Sad and Beautiful. On Friday, I got a bombshell diagnosis that I may have prostate cancer. On Saturday, we see Jackson Browne at the Pantages theater in Hollywood California. He opens with this song, and I almost lose it. His songs have been part of my life for the last 50 years. He’s a singer songwriter like few others, his voice, music and lyrics speak volumes to me. And he just hit my heart again. Thank you, Jackson.
