There is no reason anybody should have to "get past" his American Folk Pop idiom and faux country style.
If they don't like it right away they're missing something and will probably never appreciate Zevon the way he ought to be.
It's the specifically Zevon style that makes him so great and so original, and there is nothing "aquired" about the taste
some have for him. You either have it or you probably never way. I for one fell in love with this song the minute I heard it.
Now that that's out of the way, I agree with the rest of what you said scumbagstyle. You obviously do know a lot about Warren and it's good to hear your thoughts on the song, too. Great user name, too, scumbagstyle.
