His Sh*t’s F***ed Up: The Complicated Legacy of Warren Zevon

Featured Replies

One of the greats. Anyone that counted Hunter Thompson as a close friend was doing something right. 

Legend. 

Always enjoyed this cover

 

 

  Great article.  The Dawes performance of Desperados Under the Eaves is really great.  Here are a few other personal favorites. 

 

That Dawes performance is flat fucking perfect.  Wow.

 

Zevon is the epitome of underrated.  So many brilliant songs.  "Excitable Boy" cracks me up every time.

It was a blood-red Coupe deVille

Which also means it has been 15 years since Johnny Cash died.  I remember going to Smokey Mountain National Park for vacation in early September 2003.  On my way to Sevierville I remember some college radio station in Louisville, Kentucky playing Boom Boom Mancini and talking about how Zevon had died a week or two earlier.  On my way back I was bombarded with Johnny Cash songs on every radio station I could find because he had died the day before.

Damn, Warren gave Dave his guitar after that last performance.
