It don't matter if I get a little tired
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Warren Zevon has gone to the great Trader Vics in the sky. My flirtation with Zevon's music ended long ago with Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School. His eponymous album was a gem though, with Frank and Jesse James, Hasten Down the Wind, Mohammed's Radio, and Desperados Under the Eaves, all of which epitomized Southern California music at the time.
Like Steve Goodman, it took his impending death to get people's attention. I'm glad to see he went out on top with The Wind.
