To get this post, you’re either gonna have to spend 7 minutes listening to this song ..or be a Jackson Browne fan….but here’s my question:
How many of you out there have fallen prey…at one time or another….to being a “Pretender” Mormon? And I don’t mean pretending to be Mormon. I mean falling into the middle-class life of which Jackson Browne so eloquently (and slightly condescendingly) sings, after some youthful phase of idealism. I know I have at times. More importantly, have any of you found a way to successfully escape? Or is the whole idea only a mirage?

Anyway….a moment of music-induced self-reflection for those willing to engage.
