Browne Jackson
for SCOTUS
by Bill Tope
Ketanji Browne
Jackson’s nomination by President Biden to
fill an imminent Supreme Court vacancy comes at a
most opportune time in our nation’s history.
In an era when popular music as we knew it has
succumbed to a radical influx of Rap, Pop and New
Age fare, it is a welcome relief to fall back
onto one of the accomplished masters of
yesteryear. In fact it is long overdue.
Most of you
probably know Browne Jackson from her dazzling
remembrance concerts and reunion shows which dot
the landscape throughout the land. But it
is important to recognize that, after several
years as a successful composer for other
musicians, she embarked on a solo career in 1972
with the release of her eponymous Album, Browne
Jackson. She really came into her own
earlier that year when he co-wrote, along with
Eagles founder Glenn Frey, the song, “Take
it Easy,” the first Billboard hit for that
group.
Each
successive Browne Jackson album finished higher
on the charts than the preceding one, peaking
with 1977’s Runnin’ on Empty, which
achieved a number three rating.
Jackson will
make a heck of a justice too, even though as far
as I know, she’s never been to college, much
less law school. But shes sure gets my vote.
