I have to disagree, i think it is exactly the kind of song warren Zevon would have written. He is the king of the kind of rock and roll that skips past the sex and drugs and goes prematurely to the consequences of a rock and roll lifestyle. it was his fast living that brougt him to a premature death, and i think he knew that he would come to such an end. what makes Warren so spectacular is that you know he would do it all again. his honesty and his lack of hypocracy are probably his most attractive qualities.
@scumbagstyle You totally nailed who Zevon was that made him so endearing and refreshing and ironically so epically unmarketable to the masses.

His greatness was his unique refusal to play by anyone else’s rules, whether it was the record company’s wishes or even his own doctor’s orders. I’m sure by the time he was 25 or 30 he was already at total peace knowing he’d be flaming out at 55 or 60 and having a helluva lot of fun on his way down his path.
