Yes, I had the occasion to drive through Arizona back in the day, and I did stop to take a selfie standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona.

"When Jackson Browne was living in Echo Park, Los Angeles, two things quickly became clear: first, he was struggling to finish writing Take It Easy, and second, his neighbor, Glenn Frey, was desperate for new songs for his band. At the time, both Browne and the Eagles—Frey’s new group—were working on their debut albums, and with Frey’s help, Take It Easy became an Eagles classic.
Frey often heard Browne working on songs through the floorboards and was impressed by his dedication. “I used to sit and listen to Jackson,” Frey once recalled. “Jackson was very pragmatic. He wrote every day. That blew my mind. Every night, he would be working on a song of his.” Eventually, Frey stopped by to check in, and Browne played him the track he had been struggling with the most.
“He asked if I was gonna put Take It Easy on my record, and I said it wouldn’t be ready in time,” Browne later recalled. “He said, ‘Well, we’ll put it on, we’ll do it.’ But it wasn’t finished, and he kept after me to complete it.” The breakthrough moment came when Frey spontaneously added a crucial lyric:
"Such a fine sight to see / It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford / Slowin’ down to take a look at me."
After that session, Browne continued refining Take It Easy and later played a more polished version for Frey. Frey then asked if the Eagles could record it. Browne agreed, on the condition that they finish the last verse and turn it into a full song.
“It became their first single,” Browne said, “and what those guys did with it was incredible.”
