Jackson Browne Live 1975: These Days

 

Jackson Browne and David Lindley perform These Days at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, PA September 7, 1975. Produced for WMMR by Dennis Wilen.

SCHWA THE MOVIE: SPACE ALIENS ARE HERE NOW. AND IN CHARGE.

 

I re-imagined the 1990s underground art classic SCHWA World Operations Manual as a 16-minute video courtesy of the SCHWA guy, William Barker.

Excellent music courtesy Carvin Knowles.
