This is quite a week for iconic 1970s-vintage rock-star dudes at Duke University's Page Auditorium. First came an unannounced Bruce Springsteen star turn on Thursday night, when he did a one-song cameo with Rosanne Cash. And on Saturday afternoon, Jackson Browne will be at Page to receive the second annual Duke LEAF Award for Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts.

The Browne ceremony happens at 2 p.m. and tickets are free if picked up in person at the Duke University box office in the Bryan Center (call 684-4444). Be advised, however, that this won't be a concert; but maybe Browne can be persuaded to sing a bit.

Or maybe one of them will show up tonight at this.
