Lyric discussion by bkabbott 

I had a dream about Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon last night. Everyone's got the meaning of this song so I'm going to share a story.

My dad took me to a Jackson Browne concert a while ago. We arrived early and Jackson had this played over the PA before his concert started. My dad wasn't big on Zevon so I explained this was a Zevon song.

Later on Jackson said he was coping with the loss of his friend and asked if he could play a Zevon tune. We all went nuts.

Look away down Gower Avenue Warren, hope you found what you're looking for.

@bkabbott, thanks for the anecdote. I associate Jackson Browne and Warren as pioneers of the post-Beach Boys "California Sound." I'm sure the loss of WZ has been hard for Jackson Browne.
