scumbagstyle, do you mean 'miltonesque' as in John Milton the playwright? John Milton never heard an air conditioner hum in his 18th century life!
Anyway, try look at 'Desperadoes' as a play on the Eagles' 'Desperado'...Zevon knew Frey and Henley personally (they played on this album & do backing vox on the track, in fact). Zevon is making a cynical observation about the hard-partying L.A. music scene at the time.
