Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American rock music singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist,
whose introspective lyrics made him the poster boy of the Southern California confessional singer-songwriter
movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. In his
induction speech, Bruce Springsteen noted that while the Eagles got to the Hall first, "You [Browne] wrote the songs
they wished they had written". The previous year, three of Browne's albums — For Everyman, Late for the Sky, and The
Pretender — had been selected by Rolling Stone magazine as among its choices for the 500 best albums of all time.
