My daddy just passed away 2 weeks ago. My heart aches when I play this song because my daddy would pick me up in his Big grey Thunderbird when I was 6 year's old, put me on the arm rest seat in the middle, we would go to 7-11 & he would get a 6 pack of michelob beer, I would get a slurpee & he would crank up Jackson Brown "Running on Empty". I'm 47 years old now and I still cry like a little boy to be with daddy again in that car

I am 71 yrs old. But hearing this song tonight hit to my heart. Its 2025 and I feel the 70,s now. I have been so lucky to lived in this yrs. Nothing is even close to the music in the 70,s.

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

Here in 2026 and still in love with Jackson Browne

I remember at one of his shows he asked the crowd for a request one lady screamed "BROWN EYED GIRL!!" a man in the back screamed "YOU DUMB BROAD THAT'S VAN MORRISON" Jackson comes out and says "go easy on her man" then preceded to play brown eyed girl note for note it was awesome!!
