An Open Letter from Jackson Browne to His Fans and the Entire United States Dear friends, As I think on my remarkable professional experience, I am filled with appreciation and awe. I can’t find the appropriate words to explain how grateful I am for your love, support, and encouragement over the years.
You accepted my music, voice, and stories right away, making them a part of your hearts. Whether it was in the early days of my songwriting or in performance halls throughout the country, your unshakeable faith in me laid the groundwork for my development and success.
To the United States—this magnificent land of opportunity—you have offered a climate in which my creativity might flourish. The power to express my creativity, challenge society standards, and connect deeply with others via song is a treasure I will never take for granted. You have given me the opportunity to think on our common problems and joys, and in doing so, you have helped me become not only a better artist, but also a better person.
My fans are the driving force behind my music. Your emails, applause, attendance at my gigs, and singing along with me have all been a constant source of inspiration. You have demonstrated the transforming power of music to heal, unify, and effect enduring change.
As I look ahead, I promise to continue sharing heartfelt songs and stories, knowing that they belong to all of us. Thank you for walking this journey with me. Together, we’ve created something absolutely exceptional.
With all of my love and gratitude. Jackson Browne
