burdell Mar 18, 2013 - 09:22 | The producers of The Americans have to find a way to license this song for the show. Would be awesome. |
unclehud Mar 13, 2013 - 14:17 | "How was I to know she was with the Russians, too?" Meaning of the sentence isn't what it was during the Cold War years, but still has an interesting interpretation in 2013: if you get entangled with the wrong Russians today, you'd still need lawyers, guns and money. |
onelittlemoose Mar 13, 2013 - 14:15 | Epic. Maybe it's me but somehow this song is always appropriate, no matter when. I must be surrounded by too much feces and too many rotary blades. |

Lazarus Jan 09, 2013 - 21:24 | Everybody in my church loves this song... “For many people this will be the end of the line,” said Diane Thompson, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center. “This is a much lower number for the banks compared to what they were at risk for.” “The regulators have decided to replace the fox in the henhouse with the wolf,” added John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. |

Check out some of the live versions. "Stand in the Fire" and "Learning to Flinch" both have great examples of this tune. As a rule, Zevon's live and outtake / demo versions seem to have a realness or rawness that he just can't capture in the studio. Werewolves is another song that just rips live or even on the "Preludes" demo, but can feel a little ploddy in studio form. |

zllama Jun 08, 2012 - 09:24 | What a perfect little vingnette of a song. Warren is missed and always appreciated. |

unclehud Feb 02, 2012 - 12:50 | Nice story of how this lyric came about. My submarine buddies and I used to sing this as we rode into Waikiki, Oakland, Tokyo, Seattle, Perth, — or whatever city we were about to sack and burn. |
