Maybe one of the groups playing at the inauguration will cover it. That will drive the liberals crazy.

Didn’t Warren Zevon sing Werewolves of London? Haven’t heard anything about him in many years.
Great song! Thanks for the reminder!
He died.
“Haven’t heard anything about him in many years.”
He died in 2003. I (along with millions of other people) really miss him.
Sort of a poignant, self-deprecating death at that. Shortly before dying of cancer (mesothelioma) a year after he was diagnosed, he said “I might have made a tactical error not going to a physician for 20 years. It was one of those phobias that didn’t pay off.”
“Send lawyers, guns and money. Dad, get me out of this!”
I’ve been thinking about that song ever since this Russian fake news story began. Warren Zevon was a genius and died of mesothelioma in 2003. On October 30, 2002, Zevon was featured on the Late Show with David Letterman as the only guest for the entire hour. He had a phobia about doctors and his disease was discovered way too late.
One of the very few glimpses of David Letterman having any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
It’s a shame. He was only 56.
Yeah. A lot of people ding him for it. I don’t. Life is a mist. The Lord will take you when he’s good and ready. I’m 63 and don’t go to doctors. I do take care of myself and also have no health insurance. The Lord is my health insurance.
He had a pretty good life. Too short, but pretty good.
I’ve always heard it as life is a vapor, same meaning I suppose. You should be getting an annual checkup at 63, though. Find a GP who discounts for cash. Won’t be that much.
