I got to see Zevon twice at First Ave on a solo/acoustic tour he did. Awesome.

Has that extra something knowing that he recorded the song knowing he was about to die.

I cried like a sissy when he was on Letterman a few weeks before he passed.

Yup, I usually tear up just a little bit (you know, in a manly way...) hearing him sing this song...

"My shiats farked Up" is a great song by him...especially in retrospect.

/good lord, Avril Lavigne covered this too
//was trying to find a full version of the Zevon one
///almost linked to the Avril one as a sort of rickroll
////didn't want to insult Zevon that way

Nice to know I wasn't the only one. That was a sad night, yet beautiful in a way as well.

Don't know what's with all the WZ love on Fark lately, but I approve whole heartedly.

Talkin' about the man...


/The Alarm did a fantastic live cover of KoHD on an import EP during the Strength era. Only available on vinyl but damned amazing.

sorry, its my job to curb any unabashed fandom... above is WZ's only good moment, as portrayed in the Tom Cruise movie.

Tommy Shaw? Holy shiat that's wicked!

Yeah Zevon did a great job. he knew he was going to die and he said "fark this I'm making an album"
