The man could write lyrics. The Dylan of the 80’s but (and I know I’ll get flamed for this) with more talent.

You know, this song, at it's heart, expresses the Liberal point of view brilliantly.

No flames from this quarter. Dylan is so cryptic that I have come to believe that he never knew what he was even trying to say. Zevon's words have meaning.

Sorry, I intended to paste your reference to Dylan, guess you figured.

“The man could write lyrics. The Dylan of the 80’s but (and I know I’ll get flamed for this) with more talent.”

You’ll get no flame from me. Zevon was likely the most talented, humorous, and poignant lyricist whose work I’ve ever marveled over and enjoyed.

From “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” to “Desperados Under the Eaves” and everything in-between, Zevon was tough to beat. Even his lousier material, such as “Werewolves,” smoked - and still smokes - the vast majority of the crap that’s been out there for the past 30 years or so.
