Jackson Browne – The Barricades of Heaven Lyrics 8 years ago
This is a song, basically about Jacksons life. Jackson left home at the age of 16. Ran off to southern California. The barricades of heaven represent SoCal. When Jackson was there, he rented an apartment in Echo Park. It just so happened to be the apartment below Glenn Frey and JD Souther. Jackson would be up every morning..making tea at 9 am. Jackson would start playing and Glenn would listen. Supposedly, Glenn learned a lot by listening to Jackson.
The song is merely a description of that time in Jacksons life. Young, talented and in LA.

@[staffhorn:5376] You hit the nail on the head with this one. Jackson was indeed on his own at 16. Left his family but I'm still not sure why. This is his story about running off to LA. Times were good but also rough for him. He's describing how fast he had to grow up.
