Warren
His last album, recorded while he was dying, is fantastic.
The Wind - Wikipedia(Warren_Zevon_album)

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Warren
He is very well known, but still obscure to some people. Linda Ronstadt recorded a number of his songs. Hasten Down the Wind is probably the most notable.
A good album to get a good taste of his earlier stuff is Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School.
Stand in the Fire is a great live album.

Re: Warren
Warren is the same for me.
I am to the age(60 this year) in which a lot of the previous generation are passing on. My parents are now deceased and of my closest friends my age only a couple parents are still alive. My aunts and uncles are dwindling also. When someone I know passes away I always post Keep Me In Your Heart For a While from The Wind. This song seems to have found the right sense of the feeling of losing a loved one.
Oh yeah, welcome back. I just returned a few months ago. Though the place has dwindled I am very happy I returned.

One of the young guys
This must be one of the only groups I am part of(online and real-life) in which I am one of the young guys. I turn 60 in July.
