Dead in Denver

Just sad and pathetic. Either way, sad or amusing, batshit crazy reminds me of Zevon. So Zevon has been on my mind. I thought he was a hell of a talent and I really miss that guy. Now, there's damned few song by Warren Zevon that I don't absolutely love, but this one is far and away my favorite. No matter how shitty of mood I'm in, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead always puts me right. ShopKat likes it too. We've been blasting through my Zevon library for the last two hours. We both may go deaf, but we're having fun. And the Thompson in this video, well that's just a bonus:
