It’s sad young people now stay at home on the weekends. When I was a teen headed to our small town of 2000, I could hear all the traffic of my friends and most of the time tell who was who by their exhaust sound. (Cherry Bombs, thrush glass packs). Now after forty two years of marriage and 4 kids and 6 grandkids, I live 4 or 5 blocks from city hall. I can hear a pin drop on the weekends. No one riding around anymore. That’s how we hooked up, stopping a chick and “parking.” No cell phones, no social media.

I always liked this song a lot. When my brother was in the hospital dying, this song came came on the radio when I was driving, in his truck, back to the hospital to spend the day/night at his bedside. He was truly running on empty, and he was a Jackson Browne fan. This great song is now tied forever in my heart to my dear brother. I still love it, but it makes me melancholy now.

Life is tough Many people running on empty I am

Running on empty a 20 year old Marine out of Marine Barracks Washington DC driving on that freeway into Virginia on an early Summer day. With the bright blue sky and sun, the whole world glowing that early summer green. The fresh warm air blowing on my face through the open window. Wearing my pressed uniform with that eagle, globe and anchor. I still remember that stretch of open road down that long slope seemed like I could see for a hundred miles. This song always takes me back to the 80’s. Everything was ahead of me and I was in a race to prove myself. Nothing was impossible and I had no fear with all the time in the world to get there. That’s where I am every time I hear this song. And I hope they play it at my funeral. Because I hope my love ones remember me the way this song reminds me of how I felt that day. Semper Fi

I got to see him in the mid-1980s, second row center seats! It was the best time I've ever had at a concert. My boyfriend bought those tickets for my birthday, and being an avid sewist, I made us both matching shirts with crazy neon print fabric that looked like an acid trip. I figured if we got separated in the crowd it would make it easy to find each other.😉 When Jackson played his song, "For a Rocker" he grinned and pointed at us when he got to the verse: "I've got a shirt so unbelievably bright I'm gonna dig it out and wear it tonight For a rocker!" 🤯😝 That was when legendary guitarist, David Lindley, was with the band. He was a fantastic songwriter and performer in his own right, I love his solo albums (that's Lindley shown at :07).❤ Lindley died last year from complications of long covid he contacted covid in 2020. Feck covid! It also took John Prine from us, along with so many other loved ones.😭

My brother and I were in the audience when those Red Rocks shots were taken in 19. It rained all day so they postponed the show to the following day but around 300 people showed up anyway not having heard about the cancellation so Jackson came out and played probably a half a set. It was fantastic. He was chatting with everyone in the crowd and as you can see, the weather broke and it was beautiful. It was my first visit to The Rocks so I was in awe of everything. Jackson was so down to earth and personable - just a real class act. The next night we came back for the full show. Two days I will never forget.

Searched every 100 miles for an AM station playing this song as we drove across the country....

Born in late '66 to a family that always had music in the room, I heard a lot of Jackson Brown. By the time I was in high school I was turning toward punk and new wave, dating girls with blue hair, and resisting the temptation to reintroduce my ears to the songs that came before. I still listen to new music, but it is getting harder to find gems on the trash covered beach that is today's industry. So when I need music that is just downright perfect, I throw on a Jackson Browne tune. Sometimes it makes me well up a little... well, more than just sometimes.

I can say that this is one of the best live rock songs ever recorded. The musicianship and vocalizing are fabulous. And the audio engineering was perfection. My brother put this on his stereo system ... back when there were actual stereo systems that actually sounded good ... a Sansui receiver and a pair of AR3a speakers. The recording engineer in me kept trying to EQ his system to get the best sound out of it. I ultimately quit trying and moved the EQ back to "flat" ... With no added bass of treble, this song was absolutely perfect in every way.

Ima listening to it on a shitty Bose Bluetooth. Still sounds incredible. But I suspect it’s holographic on a good setup. I wonder if it was recorded for quadraphonic?

You're right. I know this tune sounded great driving in my car or on the home stereo. I was picky too. McIntosh with JBL L100s and it sound kind of dull but actually right. Just leave everything in the middle lol.

This song takes me back to the late 70’s when I was in the Navy on board the USS Ashtabula AO 51 in Pearl Harbor, when we’d be out at sea and another ship needed to be refueled, after refueling you could actually see where our ship was sitting higher above the water due to transferring fuel and as we unhooked our fuel hoses we’d play Running on Empty and the crew from the other ship would start applauding when this song was played…👍

Great memories!! Sorry about your dad!!He knew good music!! Pretender was my all-time favorite Jackson Browne album ♥️🎶👍✌️😎

‘’If it takes all night, that’ll be all right’’. I graduated high school in 1978. That was my yearbook quote. ✌🏽

RIP David Lindley. You made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your gift of music.

RIP David Lindley. You were a treasure.

My 3 yo grandson has a kid in his class named Jackson Browne….made them all listen to this!!😂😂😂👍❤️

When you Look Back, Life is a miracle...

America was at its peak at this time. Jackson seriously embodied all that was cool and those first five albums were truly bloody masterpieces. What a great epoch it was and this song is so evocative. Would love to go back in time to see him live again with that wonderful band - The Section - now known as Immediate Family.

Young people, you should have seen the great times we had here in the United States. Times were so happy, and this song and many others were the soundtrack.

I graduated from high school 1976. My obituary will read in part, that I was blessed to have grown up listening to the best bands of all time, girls wearing bell bottom pants and platform shoes, grew up surrounded by American made muscle cars (my first car was a 1969 Dodge Charger) and I know the aroma of Klotz 2 stroke race oil engine exhaust. It just didn't get any better than that.

1980 here. A 1978 Scottsdale truck and an 8 track player.

I first heard this song in the summer of 1977. I was 15. It spoke to me so strongly even then... And now, 45 years later, it resonates even more strongly. Loved it then, love it now.

I grieve for anyone who associates such a great song with a lot of pain. But there is something about this JB song that both wounds and heals (no matter what our situation). At the same time.... The heart aches from the beauty and the truth, Twining together...The song helps turn our pain into healing and beauty.... It's also more addictive than cigarettes. I could play it over and over. And I do....

I saw him in concert YEARS ago and it was outstanding!! Flawless, music sounded great, better than the album, but more than anything, he was SO warm, interacting with the crowd, making US feel he was so glad to be there when we were there to see him!!

Back in 1987, I stayed with some aunts. Uncles, cousins and mom in Wareham, MA. The first night, when we were sleeping, one of my uncles went "Arhoo" about 10 times. You could hear the laughter from the rooms. I asked him why he did that. He replied "I heard some great song about Werewolves last week." My uncle isn't a Rock N Roller except for 50s stuff. But that shows how he reached different people.

This music is so deep and authentic. I named my son after Jackson Brown. The music of my soul.

This song is well written, it takes me back to when life was more of a team effort rather than Dog -Eat-Dog. I remember neighbors coming over sitting on the front porch listening to WMMS Home of the Buzzard in Cleveland, those were great times! I now am an advocate for trying to bring love and unity back to our society. Thank you Jackson Brown for the energy bump! Cheers to all!

@@woopass2010 I hope you're incorrect, though your sentiment is the greater view. I personally believe that the root of all flames were exhibiting stem from the change of having a dedicated parent at home, or more generally speaking, our lack of parenting. I had always thought that such was the very root of all problems until I began trying to think of a resolution "how do you tell a society we're lacking parenting, or tell them how important it is, it being the most important role on our planet. White I was thinking on this, President Trump was coming to my neighborhood and he said my answer "we've got to get God back in our lives". From this statement came my new goal.

@@woopass2010 But again, where does foul behavior come from? When I was in Middle School the worst happening was a student getting caught smoking a cigarette, the only greater event was being caught smoking a joint. Now the worst is shooting up your classmates, your teacher then heading home and taking out your parents. This change comes from a devaluing of life. Where does this come from? From the absence of love a child requires in rearing. Further, I do agree with you on the big city affect and I believe it's more about those who choose the big city then it is the size of the city. It's all about distractions from the true essence of life with all the hustle and hustle, night life and all. Great speaking with you! Cheers and may our lives be like the Small Town (John Cougar Melloncamp)

Probably the best recorded and performed live song of all time.

Not my comment, but I loved this person's understanding of it... "This is from the perspective of an entertainer, a rock star. Starting early in life with no plan and only a dream, he's followed that dream and now he's not so sure that there'll be anything left for him when it ends. When he says, "If it takes all night, that'll be all right/If I can get you to smile before I leave," he's speaking to his audience. He still loves the life on the road, in fact he calls the road his own, he just doesn't have any control or foreknowlege of where it's all heading. He's getting older, remembering all the relationships that could've been, and he's realizing the futility of chasing a dream of youth("running into the sun","running blind") when everyone around him seems to be moving past that ("running behind"). Very touching, sung with lots of emotion, definitely a song that was written by Jackson Browne for Jackson Browne, and as such its honesty and intensity shines through" ballzofsnoon April 26, 2002

Proud some of our newer generation appreciates great music. ✌🏻 Classic rock will never die, unlike artist from the late ‘80’s on that didn’t have the talent to stay. 3 doors down are an exception :). They are a great band, but that’s just my opinion. Had 4rth row center seats in Tupelo, MS to see them. Dang good show!

Went on a weeklong trip with my best friends and their parents. This song played on the way there. I miss those friends so much. ❤Jodi and Jeff.

Yesterday on Veterans Day while coming near the finish line at the Chickamunga Battlefield marathon they were blasting this song over the sound system and could not have been a more appropriate song at that time....Running on Empty!

Me, too. I love these songs, but man, they tear me up inside. Too many memories, good and bad, dredged up from the past, things I wish had done but didn't, lost opportunities that I can never have again. Something about the Eagles, Bob Seger, Jackson Brown...Something about these songs encapsulated everything there was to feel coming out of Vietnam and the hippie movement teetering on the edge of the 80s self-involved overly produced culture. There are a few singers who find that space today, but I don't know if my children and grandchildren will every feel that ache, that nostalgia, like grief before death.

This song penetrates into the very center of my heart and makes time stop, it's the most unique bizarre feeling
