Zevon's great ability is to connect to the listener with a brutal honesty that would be fatal in less gifted writers. While it's far reaching I think he definitely speaks to a certain kind of person, it's easy to see why he was always a musician's musician. As a poker player I can identify completely with this, the conflict within the self between to settle down and to continue to follow your calling with 'grim determination'. Incredibly sad but beautiful song.
