"Songbook" is a memoir about Hornby's favorite songs, and he writes that he missed out on Jackson Browne the first time around: "my musical microclimate was way too ferocious to accommodate delicate Californian flowers" like Jackson Browne . . . But then Hornby rediscovers Browne in later life, etc. I wouldn't recommend the book necessarily, but your post on Jackson Browne, in addition what I read in the Hornby book last month, makes me want to take another listen. (My preferences in the singer-songwriter style of pop music lean towards Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen).
