"Lighten up while you still can......." was Glen Fry of the Eagles, not Jackson Brown. The song was "Take it Easy". However, Fry and Brown used to be room mates in Hollywood during the early '70's. Fry was heavily influenced by Brown as an artist. There may have been some crossover going on.

I've always thought this was a funny line. I wonder if people have ever included it in wedding vows.

One correction: No one gets here out alive is a lyric from the song Five to One by the Doors. The book title was lifted from that.
