Warren Zevon

I was just sitting here in my Lazboy, and listening to music...something i do when really want to relax and think about stuff...and I started looking for one song and then another, and eventually ended up with Carmelita as sung by Linda Ronstadt. I too note it was written by Warren Zevon, whom i had listen to many years ago, and it dawned on me this was the month he passed away. For those that don't know, here is what WikiPedia says:

"Warren William Zevon (January 24, 1947 – September 7, 2003) was an American rock singer-songwriter and musician noted for including his strange, sardonic opinions of life in his musical lyrics, composing songs that were sometimes humorous and often had political or historical themes.

Although his was a cult success, Zevon's work has often been complimented by well-known musicians. His best-known compositions include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Johnny Strikes Up The Band", all of which are featured on his 1978 release, Excitable Boy. Other well known Zevon songs include "Accidentally Like a Martyr", "Mutineer" and "Mohammed's Radio".

Along with his own compositions Zevon recorded or performed occasional covers, including Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan"."

I thought it would be nice to play some of his music here, he was a very talented man:
