1. Are you starting a militia ?

Do you plan on having a stand off ?

[salin]

3. just thinking old lyrics that have relevance today

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. the shit has hit the fan

love Warren

(that song reminds me of our dearly departed Libertarian friend...CA...I miss him)

[salin]

5. first heard it during our funding (illegally) of Nicaragua contras

and the El Salvadorean death squads (ala support of that govt)... will always associate the song with those conflicts.

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Dad, get me outta this...

Perhaps he was channeling the "idiot son of an asshole?"

I really miss him too. His final performance on Letterman was so poignant...:cry:

4. The shit has hit the fan.

I miss Warren.

6. Ahem

I believe the correct title is: "LAWYERS, Guns and Money".

Which, of those three, do you think can do the most damage, and, consequently, deserves top billing?

That's right. That's right. WZ knew about danger.

Anyone hear Springsteen's version of "My Ride's Here," on "Enjoy Every Sandwich"? Heartbreaking.

8. oops memory is faulty today.

working hard - My Ride's Here - late eighties... lost soul vietnam vet references... or am I confusing songs again?

10. Here ya go ............

The album, "My Ride's Here," came out in 2002 just before Zevon found out he was terminally ill - which makes you wonder how much he actually knew before he actually knew.

The phrase refers to the vehicle Death would be driving.

God, I miss him ..................

7. I thought it was "Lawyers, Guns, and Money."

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. Here's the lyrics..........

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...


Warren was great.
