Warren Zevon was a frequent guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. David Letterman was a big fan of Warren Zevon. As you probably know, Letterman inducted Zevon into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.
Everyone knows Mellencamp, but likely not this deep cut. A tapestry of sounds from the Mr Happy Go Lucky album. Also, a bit haunting and beautiful - poetry really.
I was fortunate to catch this live from the best seat in the house at a small venue. Most there had no idea what this was and took it for granted. They rarely did it in concert.
•Love and Loss: The song's central refrain, "On the day we met, I began to want you / On the day we met, I began to lose you too," captures the bittersweet paradox of relationships—the idea that the beginning of a connection often contains the seeds of its eventual end.
•Reflection on Impermanence: Written following a serious health scare (a heart attack in 1994), the song is widely considered a meditation on mortality and the inevitable pain of life.
•Poetic Imagery: The lyrics use evocative, metaphorical language—such as "troubled waters," "spilled dreams," and "china cracked and glued by clumsy hand"—to describe emotional fragility, memory, and the difficulty of understanding the heart's complexities."
Grace Potter is so hot. Best legs in show business. Great cover! Saw her LIVE once. The volume-level made my entire body hurt. I dunno why I didn't walk out early. We paid for seats, but could not use them: everyone was standing, and the space between stage and seats was full of university-aged young ones dancing it up. Electric, great vibe throughout; but NOTHING needs to be that goddam loud.

Eddie Vedder did a nice homage to Zevon at the R&R HOF event.
A Zevon song I found not too long ago:
Thanks.
I don't recall previously hearing Warren Zevon's "Prison Grove."
It has a very eerie vibe!
New to me, too. Haunting, beautiful in its own way.
