  • Looking back to February 1986 when "You're A Friend Of Mine" reached the peak of the U.S. Billboard singles chart: I was just 20 years old, hung out with good friends like Duane Lohse & Jim Gabelmann, & went to an establishment in Milan, Illinois called "Razz-Ma-Tazz Pizza & Game Parlor". Man, those were some great times, when life was better & America was on top of the world with a great President in Ronald Reagan to lead us. God, I miss those days of youth! R.I.P., Clarence Clemons.

  • @ChihuahuaboyDH Amen to those days Brother!!! I was only 22. It was a different world!!! Wish we could get it back. At least we have the music!!!

  • For those of you interested, I just listed this cd on ebay. Item number 280653004754.

  • two great musicians- together they're even awesomer

  • Under Cover Of Darkness!! :D

  • "undercover of darkness" by the strokes sounds similar to this song....

  • @lorenzo152857 check out nme .com. Julian did a track by track review of their new album and for Undercover he said this song Youre a friend of mine influenced it!

  • @Message167 OH YEAH THAT'S KOOL MAN

  • how could i've ever forgotten this great great song ! this is the best single from jackson browne other than ' somebody's baby ' ! oh lord !

  • Weird to think this was the inspiration for Under Cover of Darkness, a song by The Strokes, but then again the Strokes are inspired by the best of music.

  • CRHS, Mark, Parc peeps, thanks!

  • This song is just so amazing!! Always loved this one!! Such a feel good song!! This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥

  • classic wwf at it's best (apart from Hogan's acting!)

    loved that music clip - Elizabeth looking mighty fine. Can't remember where i was but remember loving it (but being a bit gutted that Savage was turning bad cos he was my favourite!!)

  • Mega Powers v Twin Towers

  • @chrisport1972 Best part of that Main Event was the reaction from Jesse right after they showed the mega powers clip:

    "McMahon I'm disgusted! Once again you've edited tapes to prove your point! You know if you'd been around when Nixon was in the White House he'd still be the President! You know I'm right! There's a lot of dissention on that team, and your part of the cover-up!"

    The more important thing to ask is...Where were YOU when the Mega Powers exploded that Friday night in Feb 1989?

  • To my good friend in Ludlow in Mass.

  • Been looking for the song for a long time. Gotta admit it is hard to interpret the lyrics but I finally figured out the name of the song. This song is a classic.

  • Love, Love, Love this song and all the memories attached to it!

  • Love it <3

  • " Friends may come and go, but heres one thing I know, all my life......your a friend of mine "

  • Someone should post the Original Video that stars a Cameo of Daryll Hannah In it!

  • I agree, I totally remember the video with Cla\rence, Jackson, and Daryll. I

    d love to see that one again!

  • Beautiful pics of Jackson Browne. He is both beautiful and serenely handsome -- like he has something from the inside out. I will always have a sense of respect for the person he is -- I've enjoyed watching him evolve and grow through the years . . . Hope he shares many more years with the public, and I'm glad he is still energetic enough to tour the world..

  • just because a guy wears makeup doesn't make him gay! that's so labeling!

  • sounds nice for my funeral son =)

  • this song brings back one great memory of my older sister selena. she sang this to me when we both were younger and it made me feel very special since now she let the sister between us sever that relationship to smithereens. i still think of that moment whenever i hear this song..makes me smile despite the years..thank you for putting it here so whenever i get blue, i can smile throught the tears of a broken sister bond.

  • Believe it or not, that's Daryll Hannah (Jackson's girlfriend at the time) singing the female part....

  • Thank you! A friend of mind send this vidio to me this morning- what a great way to start the day! In this high-tech, full-color, 3-dimensional world of hours it's lovely to be reminded that what can still touch us as human beings is a great old song in a video with great black and white photos of the two great guys who sung it: substance.

  • I hear this on the radio a lot and still crank it up and sing along EVERY time. I can't help myself!

  • Great tune.
