[@brendanking7328]

Ok, can we all agree that Zelma is dialed in? Warren, like most musicians wrote either what he knew or what he picked up on. The song 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' was written after he was chatting with a mercenary from the 'Bush Wars' of the 70's. The music he wrote in his last days was him dealing with the end as it was happening to him. Very influential musician.

[@joeleustice]

Roland is one of my favorites.

Jamel, the Zevon song “Keep Me in Your Heart” is amazing. He wrote it as he was dying. One of the most gut wrenching and beautiful songs ….EVER. Check it out … He was a regular on David Letterman’s show and performed it there shortly before he died.

[@venussuz69]

"Keep Me in Your Heart" will always have a special place in mine. I tried to get my brother in law to use it for the photographs and memories DVD he put together after my brother died because Charlie's favorite musician was Warren Zevon. BIL went with LOTR soundtrack instead because that's the thing he knew Charlie loved. Don't get me wrong, it came out beautiful and heartbreaking using those songs, but I had to redo part of it with "Keep Me in Your Heart" knowing he listened to a lot of Zevon, particularly in the weeks before he died. That song is perfect for ending the photo montage and fading away. Zevon was such an amazing talent, gone way too soon. I watched his last performance on Letterman with Charlie just days before he died, so grateful to have been able to share that time with him.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Warren Zevon hung out with Hunter S Thompson a lot. I bet this song was inspired by some of HST's adventures. You can close your eyes and pick any random Warren Zevon song and it's guaranteed to be great.

[@AbolitionistPrivateer]

Enjoy his music.

[@nottheplan4513]

He didn’t just do a cover. He recorded a full album (The Wind) and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful while still keeping a lot of his humor and quirky personality in the songs.

[@debraa8041]

[@robertgorney9408]

I have watched his final performance on David Letterman too many times. It kills me every time

[@DJHolte]

The thing to remember about this song - and many others by Warren Zevon (which is pronounced ZEE-von, by the way) - is that they were written with a very dry sense of humor, tongue-in-cheek, so they weren't meant to be taken completely seriously. Edit: Want to add a few things... Other great tunes from the same album are "Nighttime in the Switching Yard", "Johnny Strikes Up The Band", and a heartbreaking love song, "Accidentally Like a Martyr". Then from later in his career, he did a great cover of Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life Again", and lastly, I'll suggest a lovely tune that takes on so much extra meaning knowing that he is no longer with us, "Keep Me In Your Heart".

Bro! I love Zevon! You have to do a deep dive on his history because it comes through in his music in such a magical way. Heck his album Excitable Boy is a crazy roller coaster of macabre sarcastic wit. This was a man who saw the all the sad and bad in the world, and the futility of those who got caught up in it. He was a man who learned to just enjoy the insanity and make your own happiness. Do yourself a favor and order a sandwich and set his music on in the background in memory of him.

Believe his name is pronounced "Zeevon." Was a true character. Friends with Hunter S. Thompson, and who knows what crazy shenanigans they got into? Never going to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, however, as he pissed off Jan Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, royally. Not that Warren would probably even care about the hall 😂

[@riphopfer5816]

It’s intentionally difficult to distinguish where autobiography leaves off and pure fantasy begins, with Warren, ‘cos he spent his youth as a kind of mad adventurer. I always think of Hunter Thompson and Warren Zevon in the same thought. He inadvertently wrote the soundtrack to my 20s; to me, that decade had the same quality as his songs-when I think back on it, I was wrapped up in so many mad enterprises-most of them only operational because I was taking loads of Klonopin to settle mi hands from the Dexedrine I would use to counteract the booze I needed just to keep from murdering somebody, it felt some days, and so in retrospect I often can’t recall what mi mates and I actually did vs what we talked about doing, vs what happened to us inadvertently and which of us got us out of it. At the time, I was technically trying to make it as a guitarist and singer, or as a writer, but I kept getting sidetracked by business offers that kept coming my way from clever bastards what would ALWAYS turn out to be mad lads or confidence tricksters. These business ventures were always about 60% or 70% legal, and I was almost always brought on because of mi facility for finding useful clauses in contracts, and/or my facility with numbers, and/or my facilities for personnel management and inventory gymnastics. After all that eventually died down (at the time that was all going on I was mostly listening to early 80s punk and post-punk: The Clash, the Replacements, X, I can’t recollect what else), but nah, yeah-after I was burned for the last time, I won a settlement against a former business partner and co-owner that was frankly more than I deserved, but at least it wasn’t fraudulent. After that I got out of that life and disappeared from any and all ‘scenes’, except when I might rub up against a scene in my quiet, studious work as an audio mixing engineer in a studio what catered to experimental/post-rock bands in and around Nashville.

[@TurkeyVol]

So glad to see you discovering Warren Zevon! Like a lot of people "my age", my dad had this record ("Excitable Boy") and played it a lot! I came to my own appreciation of the man through his work with R.E.M. as his back up band for the "Sentimental Hygiene" album. I'll vouch for what others here have said: he was one of the most literate, sardonic pop composers of his generation and deserves way more credit than he gets! Also, to answer your question about "Werewloves of London", Jamel, the movie you are most likely thinking of is John Landis's "An American Werewolf in London", which broke the mold for monster makeup and what you can do in a transformation scene without computers. The soundtrack is famously loaded with moon-based pop songs, but Zevon's was not written for, nor was it included in that movie. Missed opportunity! I will also agree with everyone here that says you should do "Roland the Thompson Gunner", but also if you want a ballad that will just wreck you, listen to "Searching for a Heart" or "Reconsider Me". Thanks and keep great music alive.
