Call me musically illiterate, but when I heard Jackson Browne was coming to St. Louis October 19th this song got stuck in my head (click on the Video tab) and it was stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Knowing deep down that song is not related in any way, shape or form to Jackson Browne I decided to enlighten myself via the ultimate question master: Google.

My enlightenment showed me that I know not only one, but two Jackson Browne songs... and I bet you do, too! He wrote "Somebody's Baby" and "Runnin' On Empty" (told ya!). In 2004 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his many accomplishments in the music industry beyond the soundtrack for Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
