THE BEST 70s ALBUM: WARREN ZEVON

Warren Zevon & The Art of Dying
[9 October 2002]
"The album's centerpiece is the sardonic gem, "My Shit's F***ed Up", which opens with this stark prediction:

Well I went to see the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kinda rough".
"Let me break it to you son,
Your shit's f***ed up".
I said, "My shit's f***ed up?
Well I don't see how".
He said, 'The shit that used to work,
It won't work now".
Hearing this song in the aftermath of Warren's recent medical news is more than eerie: it's downright weird."

Rolling Stone Article: Life Hasn't Killed Warren Zevon Yet

Interview after "Life'll Kill Ya" released. Very interesting quotes about subjects of his songs. He didn't fear guns and violence, but doctors and illness were most disturbing to him.

From the President of the United States
To the lowliest rock and roll star
The doctor is in and he'll see you now
He don't care who you are
Some get the awful, awful diseases
Some get the knife, some get the gun
Some get to die in their sleep
At the age of a hundred and one

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Article: In His Time of Dying

Last days interviews, including info about Letterman appearance:

Letterman asked Zevon if his condition had taught him anything about life and death. ''How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich,'' Zevon answered.

Weeks later, Letterman was still struck by the reply. ''Here's a guy looking right down the barrel of the gun,'' he said. ''And if a guy wanted to indulge himself in great hyperbole in that circumstance, who wouldn't forgive him? But that was perfect, the simplicity of that. If this guy is not a poet, who is?''
