Warren Zevon
BAND CAMP
This Winter with instructor Mike
Rasimas
The only son of a professional
gambler (his Russian-Jewish father), Warren Zevon was as gifted,
haunted, and destructive as any musician from his
generation.
Zevon’s talent made him one of
the most admired musicians and songwriters in Los Angeles—Jackson
Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and members of the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and
the Beach Boys all lined up to back him on his classic self-titled
1976 breakthrough. But in time, Zevon would burn nearly all of
those bridges, eventually retreating to Philadelphia in the early
’80s for an extended lost weekend that dragged on for several
years.
But in death, Warren Zevon was
ennobled as a brave battler of the great existential void, a tough
guy with a heart of gold who “kicked death right in the balls,” to
quote Zevon’s friend, the humorist Dave Barry. A few days after his
visit to Thornton’s house, Zevon flew to New York City to appear as
the only guest on a historic episode of the Late Show With David
Letterman, wryly bantering about his impending demise with his most
famous fan. (Zevon referred to Letterman, who booked him numerous
times over two decades, as “the best friend my music has ever
had.”) The stand-out sound bite from the Letterman
appearance—“Enjoy every sandwich”—became Zevon’s
epitaph.
Meanwhile, his genius songs include: Werewolves of London, My Shit's Fucked Up, Accidentally Like A Martyr, Johnny Strikes up The Band, Tenderness on The Block, I Was In The House When The House Burned Down ... and so on...
