It's kind of depressing, honestly. Strung out on smack, county done cut off the methadone.

Hard times.

This song is playing in the background of the diner scene in the movie Looper. Interesting to think about what it says about the themes & details of the movie.

I knew this song from when Linda Ronstad covered it - Zevon's version is so much better

I'm ashamed to say that w/ the exception of "Werewolves of London" I did not appreciate this artist until he was gone. 
this cut is terrific.

Apparently some fellow listeners get a strong positive feeling when listening to this. I don't get it, either.

Warren Zevon will forever be a 10 for me. I'll exclude "Werewolves of London."  RIP, Mr. Zevon - thank you for the legacy of music, and for Jordan, who seems to have inherited your wicked sense of the macabre, and your comedic timing.  I miss you, my friend.
 
We miss you too.

Possibly the best Zevon he ever left us. RIP, Warren.

This as follow-up to Lyle Lovett's Road to Ensenada makes both songs grow... Nice catch.

This is like Cheeseburger in Paradise, but much much darker.
