"Meet some of his heroes from the beginning. I met people that. I really had a huge admiration for like david crosby sang on my first album. Mean he's sort of it's almost like being knighted or something you know he. He gave me the accolade of being a singing army down four or five songs. And i really learned so much of how to work how to get what i get in the studio from him then. There was a concert. I did one time. Where crosby stills. Nash were there. But neil wasn't there and i. I was on stage at this picture of crosby. Nash brown is like like i thought well. That's wow you know. And it was a long time ago but gotta say the people that i admire the most people. I'm still very shy about and don't even know how to overcome that. My admiration enough to be really good friends with. I mean i can't quite get over it. You know what they mean to me. And what the music meant to me. Springsteen inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame is he a friend of yours someone you whitmire. Yeah oh yeah. Yeah and he and we met at a gig that we're both doing at villanova. And he actually. He was opening. And i'd never seen him. I'd met him. We knew each other because he came into the guest set. When i was playing acoustically at this club called the main point in philadelphia and so we knew each other and i knew his music and some that i was doing this gig with bruce and that he was that i would he said. You're what you're gonna follow bruce. I don't know. I don't think you should do that. And it really bothered me pissing. Me off is what do you mean like but then i saw this show and it was really i mean i saw what he was doing and it was just astounding his thing unto himself and he amplified so much of what he saw in rock and roll to a degree to almost make into another art form. But i gotta say. I feel quite apart from all of that. I mean i try to learn from everything that i that i love. Try to take it in and learn part of it or some. How how it applies to what i wanna do. But i feel like what i do is quite different. I mean i'm always put together with the eagles. But when i think about it we really wrote about very different things and for that matter like take it easy as a very you know. It's a song that i wrote with glenn fry and so i'm linked in that way forever and i'm very happy about it but it wouldn't have been that song if glenn fry had not done what he did. He wrote about what he writes about. I write about what i write about. And sending on the corner and winslow zona icy an indian guy. I see it at tall indian guy with a white cowboy hat. You know turquoise shirt standing on a corner. And i probably would have written about him of course glenn instead he wrote about this girl my lord in the flatbed ford. Yeah slowing down to look at me. Take a look at me. That's pure glenn fry. That's like i've always said the musicians. Have this beautiful reality. Music is so much more powerful than film and television because you can consume it anywhere in the shower while you're having sex while you're jogging while in the car. Music is in our lives in a way the you don't have to make that kind of appointment. Visually with movies and tv. And how beautiful for you. You can just sit down and write and you sit down and play and it's all self generated you comes from you in the film business. It's so collaborative. But who's one example or more of someone you always dreamed of working with and you wish you'd been able to work with within that you just love their music for many generation now gone. There are so many singing with phoebe. Bridges was a big deal for me. Because i love somebody i mean. Maybe i'd like to do something with cindy williams. She's one of my favorites. And i don't know how she does but she does is just so mysterious to me that i can't figure out how i bring that to bring that about. I guess you'd have to write a song together or something so being invited in almost the necessary component from me. So who do. I want to call me up. Invite to sing sing with them. Were right a with the senate would be great a i. You know. I love women. Writers songwriters i sean colon. But i don't think of it like that. I got to play with some wonderful musicians. As last weekend. We did a livestream. th- event for organization called plastic pollution coalition. And the the lineup. Was everybody's saying one song by themselves than once on somebody else but it was. ben harper. Kept mo- mandy. Moore taylor goldsmith and inara george. Who's my goddaughter. But it's also who is like the singer in the great group the bird and the bee and she's been in a bunch of bands as an artisan right but Also a group called the watkins family. Our which are sarah and sean watkins. Who i've played with before. So i can't name them but i just show you. I mean when stuff happens it happens by accident. It's almost got to be an accident like i told you. I can't call people and say i want to write a song with you. Matter of fact some of those people have invited me to write us with them. And i don't even. I don't even know that. I can accept that offer. You know like. I get that phone call. I wanna see you your house and someone you love it in mind because you know something man. It just time has come. The time has come for you. And i gotta do this man. We got this song. We talked about it in london. We talked about it in rio. I so he can at the airport in miami and we talked about it and now the time has come. I do that song and you're like yeah. I'm going to call you back. I'll call you back tomorrow. I've tremendous performance anxiety. You still do. Look carol king and asked me to. Let's get together right a and she came over my house and we spent made a tape of the thing you know and we we started hit on an idea there and that was like thirty years ago. I'm still working on that song. I always tell them look. I'm the slowest writer. You ever. you know we're going to say that. Thank you for listening by interview. With jackson browne. The slowest slowest writer in rock and roll history. Is there a song. Your are so emotional. Some of them. They're very powerful emotionally. And is there a song or when you play it it still moves you. Well honestly sound like bragging but they that's what they do to me. Not every song. Is that kinda song. i mean. There are a number of songs that do that to me. And that's what. I learned going out solo acoustic was. That's the only business. I have been there. Is that those songs. Still move me in. It's real because you pretty much naked when you're up there with just by yourself but i would say that there was a song on my recent record that i was framing trouble finishing. I kept crying as i was trying to. I mean i was collaborating with a guy on the song called. Love is love is a song that i wrote in haiti and we were talking about this guy who was priest. It's built schools and hospitals in haiti rides around on a motorcycle. And he he's in this song and said i say rick rights and motorbike through the worst slums the city. And i and my friend. I said well. How would you say about father. Ricky says well the father and the doctor to the poorest.

"Limits apply. Have a great day. Hey hey molly. Karen rosier in. You're listening to the first. Take podcast and i have a huge favor for you to ask. I promise it won't take too much of your time. you know. Our show is supported by some fantastic sponsors. We'd love to hear your feedback head to podcasts. Study dot com and fell a short anonymous survey. That is it we swear again. That's podcast study dot Thanks so much and fell We're less than a week away. From i team opening up their training camps the nfl is back fellas. We obviously expect big things from teflon. Tom in the reigning champion. Patrick mahomes in those chiefs among other things. But stephen what do you think will shock the league and have more success than we might expect because so much parody in the nfl. Obviously the washington football. I keep hearing about washington. Gonna say i'm gonna tell you why when i think about the washington football team. Let me tell you what jumps in amman. Okay first of all. I liked this kid. Terry maclaurin wideout. I like him. i like. I think he's been impressive right. I don't see too much impressive stuff on their roster. I like him okay. ofensive offensively antonio gibson. Obviously you had a dc running the football and of course they picked the ryan fitzpatrick. Who's a veteran. And even though you don't expect things from him long term You know for season. Could he do some things for you. I think he has that. Potential defense is elite elite. And they're playing in the nfc least and because of the combination of that the division at their in combined with their defense and how tough those games those division games are. I think they got a change to shock. A few people this year in terms of where they advance and how far they go. This season i think they could. I think they can have the potential. It's still picking dallas to win the nfc. Least but i think they got the potential to make some noise and win. The division is going to be that bad this year. Carry on the right division wrong team. It's the new york football giants. That are gonna shock everyone. Molly i know you've got to be happy with that. You see this cheesy grin. It's new york football giants st now. Yes daniel jones have to play better. Yes he does do have reason to believe he will. Yes i do. Daniel jones is shown flashes. Let's not pretend like he got the nickname danny dimes. Because there's a rookie. It's like look at that fitting developed so much in the second season brevard hurt leg terrible offensive line and most importantly though saquon barkley saquon. Barkley is back. Everybody you don't saquon barkley. Did the greatest running back prospect in the history of football as a rookie. Because there's never been anyone at his size. You can run like him. Do all the things he'd do after the football everything can't. He's a team guide. A work ethic the leadership over two thousand yards from scrimmage as a rookie. You mean to tell me. He's not going to improve book year. The offensive line should be better. Andrew thomas now has a year under his belt. He started to improve nate solder. They've made some improvements the offensive line. They picked up cadaverous tony. Who's like the next dave meggett. He's like he could do all these kinds of super athletic things on the field. We're talking about like running the ball and catching the ball with explosive athletes. I won't even bring up. Evan ingram seriously. But he's a very fast tight end and they supplement him with kyle rudolph. Who's like a steady eddie veteran. How about the fact that they picked up golladay to go with slayton and shepherds an excellent route one slot receiver. I mean wherever daniel jones looks. He has offensive weapons other than the cowboys. They'll have the best offense in the in the division and their defense other than washington would be the best defense in the division. So they're second in both and the cowboys have a bad defense in washington. As a bad offense the entrance the giants. I'm not ruling it out. I'm not ruling it out. Because i like joe judge. I'm a fan of what i've seen but daniel jones. I'm not sold. I'm not so. I'm not saying that you're wrong because you could end up being right. I got to antonio the east. I wasn't joking because you're saying washington is going to be better saying the giants aren't going to be better and then also we're hearing. We're not hearing. I don't wanna be spreading any rumors. But there's potential. The eagles could be getting a new quarterback so the division is going to be better. Well listen it can't be worse. Yeah obviously only cowboys cowboys have big expectations steven right What do you think they're going to do this year. Well listen. I got winning the division. I mean i know. We just finished talking about washington. Now they've got the potential to shock folks. But i've got the cowboys winning the division. All joking aside you in that prescott back. Assuming he's healthy okay zeki. Elliot's got something to prove. He dropped off a little bit last year but they had a lot of mitigating circumstances. I mean when you got dak prescott out and you got suspect the blonde all of a sudden you know right with injuries A desk going to compromise you to some degree. That's not expected to be the case this year. And then you look at wideout In terms of you know cooper and you know obviously cd lamb in the crew and gallup. We what they bring to the table but defensively. I'm just real high and this kid. They drafted out of penn mccarthy. I i just think he special And i think he's gonna. I think he's gonna do some special special things for that deep as i've been their defense can't get much worse. I do think when defensive coordinators big pickup. I think that's helpful But in the end it comes down to is this i look dallas's the one team within the division that has offense. You can rely on the others do not you think that they're going to be better in washington you take. They're going to be better in new york. You hope they'll be better in philadelphia. Now that cost winces going and jalen hurts. Clearly i was alluding to what adam schefter and said that they are most equipped to go. After the sean bell far from the watson even gets back on the field off if he am by the way if he gets back on the field. He'll have to wait because you know based on everything that he's endured that the commission is going to step in and they're going to exact some kind of punishment that prevented from playing the some period. I think we have to hold off on. Talk about sean. Watkins football we. We have to hold off for now. I'm just looking at the fact that the dallas cowboys are the only reliable offense within the division and as a result of that they should be the favorite fitzpatrick washington is fitzpatrick is what he is. He can fool you for like four or five weeks like oh and then by the end of the year but in the end of see least those four or five weeks could be different. Maybe i'll say it was interesting because the seventeen game schedule right unless you tie ain't no five hundred teams anymore. Do i think you know. Are the cowboys. Five hundred and will we'll nine wins out of seventeen nine and eight be enough to win. The division i with i got division got better. I got the cowboys. Wondering the least ten games. I think their offense you're right about. I mean there wide receiver tandem. Cd lamb now you you. You look at what they have on. Offense is very impressive and the defense should improve. It's just been a bunch of years now. Going into the season cowboys best team in addition never turns out that way. You know. I just i know ones share bad off. That's the black cat. Just occurs to me stephen as they will let you cowboys will let all. I have heard that somewhere. But i we'll say this. But i am pulling for daegu. Listen listen listen guy. He's a good guy. He deserves his money all out. I don't wish him to be injured. I don't want anybody to be injured. And i think he's going to have a great year. Don't mean they're gonna win when it counts and that's really the most important thing at the end of the day. The only bad part about this is the fact that dallas thanksgiving and christmas should be relatively decent but right around new year comes right around town. New year comes before the new year. Now they're going to plummet and that's all that matters to me and that's your bull matters to me. That's all that matters to me as long as cowboy.

This is an opportunity to sort of divorced of this community that that i've been moving within for years and years It's an opportunity to think about how i function in that community and to what extent that community is still a reflection of the organized religion that i was raised in well. Can i ask you about that because this is obviously an examination of faith. Can you start with what you were examining your many domo. What it means to be raised in an evangelical christian so my parents kind of converted to fundamentalist christianity. When i was around eight years old. So i remember it all happening. I remember the relative lack of structure before and then the in dense presence of of structure. Afterwards and i think my folks when they had my brothers in me. I was the first of three boys. And i think they got real scared. I think that the what they perceived as a lack of structure in their upbringings didn't feel tenable to them moving forward with us. I think they were worried about messing us up and they wanted some answers and one of the things organized religion is is best at is giving you answers whether or not they're right you come with questions can.
