The hadron collider will not kill us.

Warren Zevon was brilliant. Much of the time. Not always. Who else would give us Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner?

Prophetic I s’pose would be the best description of the song?
Oh, and the last song on the album too – Don’t Let Us Get Sick.

Well fair enough Mundo, I stands corrected. Whatever the dates, I truly like this tune. Warren’s oeuvre, not so much.

Actually, this song comes from Life’ll Kill Ya released in 2000. Zevon wasn’t diagnosed with mesothelioma – a disease he contracted as a boy playing amongst the asbestos underlay materials used in his fathers carpet laying business – until 2002.

Pretty sad really, Jonathon.

Cheesy? Barry Manilow is cheesy. Zevon is something, but I wouldn’t have thought cheesy was it.

Well, I always thought him a tad cheesy. Is there a third e in cheesy? Anyway, death became him.

I’m so glad you’re blogging at last Mr Green. But why did you hate Warren Zevon…
