Podcasts about Warren Zevon

Many of us first heard Wesley Stace on the 1990 album Here Comes the Groom that he recorded as John Wesley Harding, the name taken from Bob Dylan's stripped-down late-1967 album that itself misspelled a Texas outlaw's name. The English singer-songwriter has enjoyed a robust folk-rock career as Harding but also has written four acclaimed novels under his own name and began recording albums without the pseudonym in 2013. Still, he recently performed as John Wesley Harding at a Wild Honey Foundation tribute concert to Warren Zevon and on his own tour. Here he discusses where Harding ends and Stace begins (or vice versa), how he evolved as an artist, why he mined Frank Capra projects for early album titles, what Zevon once told him, how he reacted to not-so-nice comments from Elvis Costello and why he decided to become a U.S. citizen in 2025. Stace, no surprise, is as thoughtful and witty in conversation as in song. (Photo by Ebet Roberts)

Episode 437 of Friends Talking Nerdy brings Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd back to the mic for their month-long dive into all things Holiday, and this week they're tackling a topic that hits everyone right in the eggnog: Holiday Relationships.In this episode, the duo explores the emotional gymnastics we all perform when navigating family during the season—whether that family is the one we were born into or the one we lovingly assembled like a geeky, mismatched Avengers lineup. They dig into the pressure cooker of expectations, traditions, and old dynamics that magically reappear the moment you walk through the door. From managing long-standing tension to dealing with those relatives who treat political debates like a competitive sport, the conversation stays honest, warm, and grounded.Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd break down practical strategies for keeping interactions healthy and humane—things like setting boundaries without lighting the Yule log on fire, checking in with your own stress levels, finding small ways to recharge, and making space for empathy even when the room is already too crowded. They also discuss how chosen family can provide stability, joy, and sanity when the holidays feel overwhelming.To wrap things up, they share their Songs of the Week. Professor Aubrey brings “The Water” by Johnny Flynn, a reflective and beautifully layered piece that mirrors the emotional ebb and flow of the season. Tim counters with Warren Zevon's “A Certain Girl,” a punchy, playful classic that adds a little spark to the playlist.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Happy Thanksgiving! Here are some past interviews for you to enjoy on this holiday. Carl Cannon talks to human rights advocate Katrina Lantos Swett about threats to religious liberty here and around the world. Lantos Swett is President of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice, and former Chair and Vice-Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Tom Bevan talks to John Tillman, the founder of MediaPedia, a new company that hopes to provide transparency when it comes to media bias. The company uses artificial intelligence to rate the ideological leaning of reporters, which it says allows it to “empower news consumers to see the bias behind the bylines of legacy news outlets.” Andrew Walworth talks to war correspondent and former New York Times Pentagon reporter Thom Shanker about singer/songwriter Warren Zevon, whose gimlet-eyed view of world politics endeared him to a generation of foreign policy practitioners and observers. Zevon, who died in 2003 from cancer, was earlier this month inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us a textThe Rock Hall came in loud, messy, and unexpectedly moving—and we brought receipts. We open with a mea culpa that doubles as a manifesto: Iron Maiden belongs in the Hall. When you put their global sales, generational influence, and still‑feverish fanbase next to multiple inductees, the picture changes fast. From there we break down the night's sharpest highs and softest misses: Salt‑N‑Pepa's clinic in craft and energy, a Warren Zevon tribute that needed Werewolves of London, and Cyndi Lauper's command of a room that didn't always return the favor. We dig into the White Stripes' legacy with clear eyes: why Feist and Olivia Rodrigo's “We're Going To Be Friends” worked and why making “Seven Nation Army” about yourself doesn't. Jack White's speech lands like a love letter to small rooms and big risks, and we push back on the lazy “Meg can't drum” take—serving the song is a skill. Outkast's segment wrestles with tech issues, but Tyler, the Creator detonates “B.O.B.” and reminds everyone what modern hip‑hop virtuosity looks like. Then Soundgarden turns the room inside out: Taylor Momsen surprises, Toni Cornell devastates on “Fell on Black Days,” and Nancy Wilson powers through more malfunction to honor Chris Cornell's towering range and the band that bridged punk and Sabbath weight.We close by asking better questions of the Hall. What is “rock and roll” in 2025 if not attitude, risk, and reinvention across hip‑hop, punk, metal, pop, and alternative? If next year's first‑timer pool is thin, it's time to right some wrongs: Mariah Carey, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Wu‑Tang Clan, and long‑snubbed pillars like the Pixies, the Replacements, and Black Flag. Along the way, we unpack catalog sales, a smart theory behind the Oasis reunion, and why safe, templated finales shrink big nights.If you love strong opinions backed by facts and lived fandom, hit play. Then tell us who we got right, who we got wrong, and who you'd induct tomorrow.

Creativity through the lens of a singer/songwriter"Creativity, it's all about your imagination"Tom Ciurczak (Sir-Zak) offers up an infectious blend of energetic rhythms, danceable beats and powerful storytelling lyrics that make you think you are listening to a crossbreed of Bruce Springsteen, Warren Zevon and Steve Earle, complete with Eagles-esque harmonies and hook-laden Eric Clapton style guitar work. Tom learned, early on, about music's complex and distinct sounds and rhythms as well as the imagery that great storytelling can evoke.  In his mid 20's, Tom moved to the West Coast where he soon found work in the Specialty Lighting industry. Marriage and 2 young children meant putting his musical ambitions on hold, although he continued to write songs almost daily as he traveled the world to seek out the newest innovations in lighting. His career established him as an outstanding businessman, as he built three very successful Specialty Lighting Companies: Osram, Ushio and his own company, BLC International. Through it all, he continued to hear the siren's song as songwriting provided the creative outlet in his life.  Things changed in 2014, when Tom decided to dust off his prodigious arsenal of songs and put them to the test. When he attended recording artist Steve Earle's Songwriters Master Class and Retreat, he knew that he had found his people. From there, he turbo-charged his songs, taking them to a whole new level.  On June 26th 2025 the Album YORICK was released, highlighted by the title track Yorick based on a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It also included critically acclaimed singles, The Watcher and On Top Of The Rainbow.Tom performs regularly at music venues throughout Southern California to promote his own brand of Heartland Rock.  Singer/songwriter/recording artist Tom Ciurczak is proof that, once lit, the musical spark never dies – it's just waiting for the right time to blaze its magic.www.tomciurczak.comhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/tom-ciurczak/1523602233https://open.spotify.com/artist/4kSCXkEUWwUq5ykqyEf1Dnhttps://www.instagram.com/tokyotommy58/https://www.youtube.com/@tomciurczak8782Tom Ciurczak Band: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092202082226Tom Ciurczak: https://www.facebook.com/tom.ciurczakSend us a text

He tells some great stories about interacting with celebrities like Richard Simmons, Darlene Love, Bruce Willis, and even President Bill Clinton. He also shares his memories of working on the episode that featured Warren Zevon's legendary final appearance. From there, we move onto what he's doing now with the Found Footage Festival. He talks about how the show got started, the comedy bits he's most proud of, and some of the incredible and unique people he's met by doing this show. And we even dive into the challenges they face when it comes to protecting their intellectual property, as well as the comedic art of video editing.

This week is a very special October Scaretacular™ episode. The album we are discussing is strange, scary, funny, often requested, and possibly a favorite of one of our hosts. We are of course discussing Warren Zavon and his album Excitable Boy, released Jan. 18, 1978.  In this episode we discuss the dangers of gravity, Garrett's various film cameos, ghost revenge, why appeasement doesn't work, how to spot a werewolf, the importance of all children learning 2 songs on the recorder, poor metaphors for drug use, how much we still love the berries and cream commercial from 20 years ago, medically induced alcoholism and so much more!

On this landmark 200th episode, Andrew and returning guest Dakota Jones (Voices of Wrestling) are diving into hall of fame season. Yes, this is the time of year when people discuss and debate the candidates for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, but Andrew and Dakota are focusing on a different (though just as noteworthy) institution: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Class of 2025 was announced months ago, but the induction ceremony is just a few weeks away, so there's no better time to celebrate the group of music luminaries entering the hall: Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-N-Pepa, Warren Zevon, Carol Kaye, Nicky Hopkins, Thom Bell, and Lenny Waronker.

”"Is Meg White actually going to show up—or will someone else be the White Stripes?" That burning question sets the tone for a wildly entertaining edition of Krystina's Cookie Jar on The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray. With the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony just weeks away, the gang dives into the newly released list of presenters and performers—and things get speculative, hilarious, and downright chaotic. From Doja Cat possibly honoring Salt-N-Pepa to David Letterman's confirmed tribute to Warren Zevon, the team plays musical matchmaker, trying to connect the dots between legends and their modern-day counterparts. 

"The Very Day" If you're wondering if the Connecticut-born Grammyt Award winning keyboardist and composer grew up with music in the house, the answer is yes--his father Joe Porcaro was a renowned jazz drummer who played with everyone from Sinatra to Stan Getz to Madonna. He also played on hundreds of film and television scores including The Wild Bunch, I Dream Of Jeannie and Edward Scissorhands. He also founded the Percussion Institute of Technology and later the drum department at the Los Angeles Music Academy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_College_of_Music). So, yeah music was the lifesblood of the Porcaro household and at very young ages, Steve and his brothers Mike and Jeff went into the family business. How early of an age you might be wondering? Well, at 17 when most of us were finishing our last year of high school and thinking about who and who wouldn't go with us to the prom, Steve was playing with Gary Wright's band on his 1976 Dream Weaver tour. A year later while most of us were fumbling our way through our first year of college, Steve and his brothers were in Boz Scaggs's band. In 1978 Steve and his brother Jeff along with a few other session playing pals formed their own band called Toto. How'd that work out? Well, 50 million albums later, I'd say it worked out very well, thank you. From "Hold The Line" to "Rosanna" to "Africa" Toto had a procession of hits, became one of the biggest bands on the planet and went on to compose the music for David Lynch's Dune. Steve left the fold in 1987 and went on to compose and score for countless film and television projects, including From Dusk Til Dawn 2, Eddie Murphy's Metro and he did all the original music for Justified. This is just a partial list, by the way--he also wrote the song "Human Nature" which Michael Jackson recorded on his Thriller album, the beginning of several compositions he wrote for Jackson to record. Considered one of the pioneers of analog synths, Porcaro's inventive loops appeared on works by everyone from Elton John to Don Henley. When it comes to artists he's collaborated with, here's a list that's going to knock you out: Hall and Oates, Earth Wind and Fire, Sheena Easton, Diana Ross, Warren Zevon, Jefferson Airplane, Yes, and Michael McDonald. Also a partial list. And speaking of Yes, Porcaro was good friends with Yes's Chris Squire and played in his band The Chris Squire Experiment. Porcaro's second solo album The Very Day is one of 2025's real bright spots. Featuring guest appearances by Stan Lynch, Jude Cole, Michael McDonald, Gardner Cole and his Toto pal David Paich, The Very Day is a stirring song cycle of effortless pop melodies, rootsy grooves and insanely catchy hooks. It's pure magic. And this conversation felt the same. Steve's an open book and a lovely guy and I can't wait for you to meet him, www.steveporcaromusic.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereo) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

There are few people in Travis's life who appreciate Warren Zevon as much as he does, and even fewer who wanted to come on the show and talk about 1993's live album Learning to Flinch. So he did an episode by himself to talk about one of his absolute all-time favorite artists.

Josh Joplin isn't one to dwell on past glories, but there was a time when he was chasing songs worldwide. In 2001, his breakout single "Camera One" became the first independently released song to hit #1 at Triple A Top 40, landing Josh Joplin Group on Artemis Records—a label that boasted acts as varied as J. Mascis, Warren Zevon, The Pretenders, and, yes, the "Who Let the Dogs Out" hitmakers, The Baha Men. ("Camera One" may not have unleashed any canines, but it did land a spot on the cult classic tv show Scrubs.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

("Camera One" may not have unleashed any canines, but it did land a spot on the cult classic tv show Scrubs.) Joplin followed with The Future That Was (2002), produced by Rob Gal (Magnapop, Rock-a-Teens), and later earned critical praise for Jaywalker, Among the Oak & Ash, and Devil Ship. Now, after years of collaborating with friends and fellow musicians, he returns with his latest album, GpYr ("gap year"). Spin Magazine says GpYr is "a collection of pop-infused gems that, with help of producer Lorenzo Wolff (Taylor Swift's Midnights and Folklore), captures the raw energy of Joplin's earlier works...but with the musical and lyrical layers of the older, wiser musician Joplin has become." More than just a record, GpYr is a sonic scrapbook—a story of four friends who, over one unforgettable summer and autumn, came together for a mission: to rescue Seely from a therapeutic boarding facility in remote New England. In saving her, they saved each other. While the Josh Joplin Group will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Useful Music—the album some say started it all–it's Joplin's “new album that reminds us all of how far we've come.” (Spin Magazine) Learn more about your ad choices.

Tanita Tikaram's second gig had an audience of three – one paying customer and two concert promoters. When one of them wanted to talk to her afterwards she said, “sorry, I've got to get the train home.” She was 17. In this podcast she tells us the story of the one of the fastest career ascents on record which stops off at … … an open-mic night with a girl who cut up newspaper – “what happened to her?” … Basingstoke alumni –Tanita Tikaram, Jane Austen, Liz Hurley … … ignoring Wham! in favour of Suzanne Vega and Tom Waits. … the lure of school theatre groups – “a skive, you could basically be arty and smoke”. … “Ringo Starr gave me an award!” … supporting Warren Zevon and Jonathan Richman - and John Martyn (with Tracy Chapman). … the faint absurdity of promoting Twist In My Sobriety on Kids TV. … “when you're young, you're adaptable”. … mourning the loss of mainstream music. … a summer spent miming on European pop TV shows. … the thrill of hearing Ancient Heart was Top Ten when playing the Cambridge Folk Festival – “they all thought, that's one of us in the charts!” … and today's imbalance between new music and nostalgia.
