Even more recent than dying last night? Man, I knew Zevon was
a talented guy, but sheesh! That's downright scary.
Warren, the Lifeless Singer-Songwriter is his name, LA's
bravest son, You can still see his lifeless body pounding out
the songs, And the muzzle flash of Warren's dark black
wit...
His last album, THE WIND, isn't his best, but man, who can
ever hear Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" again, and not
think of Zevon laying down that track while walking up the
steps? I'll be keeping Zevon in my heart for a long
while.
