In The Rock 1/18/1978: Warren Zevon’s third LP ‘Excitable Boy’ is released in the US. It’s a brilliant record, his biggest seller, and contains his two best known singles, “Lawyers, Guns and Money” and “Werewolves of London”. It peaks at #8 on the album chart.

Music Monday!!! Make Us Be Brave (finished!) is a line from this Warren Zevon song that makes me cry a little. Don’t Let Us Get Sick (there must be a way to embed. I don’t feel like figuring it out rn) EDIT: thanks @heartstringsduet 😊

Don’t let us get sick,

Don’t let us get old,

Don’t let us get stupid, all right

Just make us be brave, and make us play nice

Let us be together tonight

It’s very found-family-ish to me. Also the line “I thought of my friends and the troubles they’ve had/To keep me from thinking of mine” reminds me of more than one Lone Star character

Thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom and @paperstorm for the tag!!! Umm I guess more tags under cut I’ve never done this one before 😂

Warren Zevon - The Old Waldorf, San Francisco, California, January 8, 1983

The Excitable Boy hits San Francisco! This solo show sees Warren Zevon playing some of his best tunes (so far, anyway) solo on acoustic guitar and piano. "I guess some of you are wondering what happened to the band — besides Reaganomics," he quips early on. "It's just my monster fucking ego!"

Of course, Zevon is great in this stripped down setting, still bringing a high level of go-for-broke energy to the proceedings. Even the ballads are kinda nervy. "One thing about being a songwriter, you can go back over your life and find a particularly melancholy kinda tune that reflects a period of your life that you'd prefer to forget," Warren tells us before a particularly melancholy "Hasten Down The Wind." "And then later on another terrible trauma happens to you and the song becomes singularly appropriate again!"

Shout-out to Todd Alcott Graphics for this perfectly pulp-y artwork ... a lot more where that came from!

quick question; what do you when your bf catches you lost in thought & comes up to hug you from behind all, god your so cute what are you thinking about that’s got you looking so cute and you really don’t want to say “the soundtrack to the movie An American Werewolf In London (1981) didnt include the classic song Werewolves of London (1978) even though those are the only two pieces of media that seem to draw the hyper specific correlation between those two otherwise entirely unrelated concepts” what do you say then instead.?

You better stay away from him!

He'll rip your lungs out, Jim!

In the song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon, one of the lines is:

"You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out, Jim"

Whenever I hear it, I imagine that it's Dr. McCoy warning Captain Kirk. And then it's fun to imagine that Kirk replies with the next line:

"I'd like to meet his tailor"

And it's especially funny to imagine that they're talking about Spock.
