Open Thread: Warren Zevon

It’s been 11 years now since we lost Warren Zevon. He was taken from us way too early by cancer.

Warren was probably known best for his song Werewolves of London, but my all time favorite from him is ‘My Sh*t’s F**ked Up‘ off of ‘Life’ll Kill Ya.’ That song has been playing on loop for the past couple of weeks on my car stereo. But my dear editor has made the decision that it’s a bit too raunchy for the site. So here’s my second favorite ‘Lawyers Guns and Money.‘

[Editor’s Note: I believe I said “nsfw.” Think of the children!]

I recommend that you also watch Warren’s final appearance on the David Letterman Show where they talk about his 20 years on the show. They also discuss his illness and Warren utters the brilliant phrase ‘enjoy every sandwich.‘ Watch it here.

What’s your favorite Zevon track?

Did you know that he’s not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? You can do something about that here.
