AWOOOOO! Seth and Marc invite close friend and Zevon-lover Fletcher back to talk about Werewolves of London. Is this song about anything deeper than a Chinese food-loving lycanthrope living in England? Seth and Jackson Browne say yes, but everyone else disagrees. Special Guest: Fletcher Herman.

For this week's Bait and Switch Music episode, we asked one of our guests to pick out the album to review. So we handed over the reins to our musical expert Joe Kay to lead the conversation about his album pick, Sentimental Hygiene from Warren Zevon! We brought in another local music expert and friend of the show, Scott Cvecko to give us his thoughts as well. Before diving into our review, Joe gave us some background on Warren Zevon's career including his collaboration with many famous musicians, and our panel members share their prior knowledge of Zevon and his work. We move on to take a look at the album itself, noting things like musical style, influences, its diverse musical elements, the metaphorical and storytelling lyrics etc. Of course we chime in with the songs that worked for us as well as our the ones that didn't. And it wouldn't be complete without our top picks from the album. All this and much, much more! Enjoy!

In December 2000, in a remote area of the Oder River in Poland, three fishermen discovered a dead body, initially mistaken for a log, near the shore. The corpse, with a noose around its neck and hands bound, was identified as Dariusz Janiszewski, a 35-year-old businessman from Wroclaw, reported missing by his wife four weeks earlier. Janiszewski's body showed signs of torture, starvation, and drowning. Despite an extensive police investigation featuring scuba divers and forensic specialists, no significant evidence was found. Janiszewski, described as a gentle man and an amateur guitarist, had a stable personal life with no known debts, enemies, or criminal record. He and his wife were planning to adopt a child.

In Hollywood, the story beats of werewolf movies were codified in 1941 by a German-Jewish emigrant to Hollywood via London named Curt Siodmak, who wrote the seminal film 'The Wolf Man', starring Lon Chaney, Jr. 40 years later, John Landis made the most important and enduring and influential werewolf film ever made in 'An American Werewolf in London'. It was his follow-up to the one-two punch of 'Animal House' and 'The Blues Brothers'.  He could make any film he wanted, with anyone he wanted. So he made a script he'd begun when he was 18 years old. A script he'd first discussed with an aspiring special effects and creature-design guy named Rick Baker in 1971.  10 years later, he'd found two unknown leads, hired basically the entire cast of an acclaimed touring production of 'Nicholas Nickleby', and called Baker on the set of another werewolf movie ('The Howling') and convinced him to decamp to England to work on 'An American Werewolf in London'.  For his groundbreaking innovations on the film, Baker won the ver first Academy Award ever given for makeup special effects. Featuring a snappy, smart script, Landis' virtuosic comedy/horror chops, and an unexpected soundtrack of moon songs, 'An American Werewolf in London' is in a class by itself and is one of the most important films ever made. Other werewolf films of note and worthy of your time: 'Ginger Snaps' 'Wolfen' 'Wolf' 'Dog Soldiers' 'The Howling' 'The Wolf Man' (1941) 'Werewolf of London' (1935) "Werewolf of London' inspired Zevon's song 'Werewolves of London'. Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers had watched the film and told Zevon jokingly that he should write a song with that title and start a dance craze. And as far as listicles go, this one is well-reasoned by someone who knows their werewolf films: The 25 Best Werewolf Movies 

Join us for an intimate dive into two Warren Zevon albums - 'Life'll Kill Ya' (2000) and 'My Ride's Here' (2002). In this third episode of a three part tribute to Warren Zevon, LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl and host Scott Dudelson take you on an journey deep into two albums that showcase Zevon's unflinching wit, deep introspection, and fearless exploration of life, death, and everything in between. To peel back the layers of these remarkable records, we are joined by two of Zevon's closest collaborators: Jorge Calderón, his trusted lifetime co-writer and multi-instrumentalist, and Noah Scot Snyder, the engineer and mixer who helped bring 'My Ride's Here' to life. Together, they share personal insights, untold stories, and a wealth of behind-the-scenes moments that bring Zevon's genius into sharp focus. What You'll Discover in This Episode: A Deep Dive into the Creative Process: Learn how songs like “Porcelain Monkey” emerged from everyday conversations and vivid storytelling. Jorge shares how a Graceland postcard sparked the song's haunting narrative about Elvis Presley. Zevon's Evolving Career: Explore how 'Life'll Kill Ya' marked Zevon's return after years of struggling for a record deal, with much of the album being self-recorded in his home studio, aptly named Anatomy of a Headache. Dark Humor Meets Mortality: Hear the story behind “My Shit's F***ed Up,” a raw and prophetic anthem written years before Zevon's cancer diagnosis, as well as the poignant “Don't Let Us Get Sick." Collaborating with Legends: We dive into Zevon's experience co-writing with literary giants like Hunter S. Thompson and Paul Muldoon, and how that experience carved the path into Zevon's final album "The Wind." The Practical Realities of Creativity: Noah Scot Snyder reflects on working with a meticulous artist who pushed the limits of early digital recording technology while mentoring a young engineer in the process. The Lost Tapes: The pair reveal that the Master tapes for 'Life'll Kill Ya' are lost and only because of Zevon & Snyder's foresight were the tapes for his follow up album "The Wind" preserved & stored properly. Why This Episode Matters: 'Life'll Kill Ya' and 'My Ride's Here' represent two of Zevon's most introspective and uncompromising works, created during a period of significant personal and professional transformation. Through the anecdotes, humor, and heartfelt reflections of those who knew him best, this episode offers an intimate portrait of a man who refused to compromise his artistic vision. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Warren Zevon's music, this conversation sheds light on the creative genius and enduring legacy of one of rock's most distinctive voices.   This is the third part of a three part tribute to Zevon, check my channel for the other two episodes featuring amazing interviews with Zevon's closest collaborators including Jorge Calderón, Waddy Wachtel, Noah Scot Snyder, Bob Glaub and guest host Shooter Jennings.

What happens when a legendary artist turns his final days into one of the most celebrated albums of all time? In this gripping oral history of Warren Zevon's Grammy-winning swan song, The Wind, we unravel the stories behind the music, the heartbreak, and the triumph. Featuring exclusive insights from Jorge Calderón, Warren's lifelong collaborator and The Wind co-producer, and Noah Scot-Snyder, the album's co-producer, engineer and mixer, this episode takes you behind the curtain of Zevon's bittersweet journey. Hear how Zevon defied the odds, transforming a terminal diagnosis into a creative explosion and how close the album came from not being completed. From emotional songwriting and recording sessions to unforgettable moments like Bruce Springsteen breaking an amplifier during his blistering guitar session. Discover how Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Jim Keltner, Emmylou Harris, and more rallied to honor Warren's legacy, creating an album that transcended time, grief, and circumstance. Jorge and Noah recount Warren's humor and vulnerability, like the night he decided to record "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in Billy Bob Thornton's basement or Zevon's insistence on crafting "Keep Me In Your Heart," even when the pain felt insurmountable. You'll hear about the magic of “Rest of the Night,” a rowdy anthem with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell born from Zevon's last moments of levity, and the emotional toll the process took on those closest to him.

It's hard to believe but it's been 20 years since Zevon passed away. For nearly four decades, spanning 12 studio albums and 32 singles, no artist expressed the duality of life, the light and dark, the ugliness and the beauty better than Warren Zevon. As Warren's ex-wife told James in his book: “If you're looking at the themes through his songs and what influenced them, at the heart of everything is that Warren was an artist…first.”Purchase a copy of Accidentally Like a Martyr: The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon through Amazon HERE Listen to a playlist of Warren Zevon HERE Visit James Campion's website HEREFollow James Campion:FacebookInstagramXVisit the Booked On Rock Website HERE Watch exclusive video segments from the Booked On Rock podcast HERE Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOKTWITTERINSTAGRAMTIKTOK Support Your Local Bookstore!

Whether he likes it or not, Warren Zevon will forever be most remembered for his surprise hit “Werewolves of London,” but he's a far more complex and interesting songwriter than most folks are aware. Forever a musician's musician, Zevon's unique voice has influenced scores of artists although he himself has remained something of a cult figure over the decades. While 1978's Excitable Boy does indeed feature his biggest hit, it is also home to some of the most sharp-witted and acidic songs he ever wrote. Join Dan, Mike, Rich, and returning guest Libby Cudmore as we discuss Zevon and his cast of psychopaths, mercenaries, screwups, and lycanthropes.NOTE: There's some strong language and dark subject matter in here, so be mindful of that if there's anyone around who shouldn't be hearing it.

"Play That Rock n' Roll" proudly presents the third part of a special mini-series that details the incredible life and career of songwriter Warren Zevon. We are joined by my friend Chris to explore Zevon's full studio catalog, broken down by decade. In this episode, we cover Warren's 1989 sci-fi concept album, a collection of demos he recorded with R.E.M., his two '90s studio releases, and an acoustic live album... all of which contributed to the most commercially barren stretch of Warren's career.

On this episode of Dystopia Tonight I had the great pleasure of hosting the legendary Jorge Calderón on the show! Calderón is a highly accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer known for his work in the rock, pop, and Americana music scenes. He has collaborated with some of the most iconic artists of our time, including Jackson Browne, and the Eagles, and has contributed to countless hit records throughout his career. Perhaps one of the most significant partnerships in his career was his friendship and creative collaboration with the late Warren Zevon, a legendary singer-songwriter known for his irreverent wit and unique blend of rock, folk, and pop. We discuss Calderón meeting Zevon in the early 1970s, the two quickly becoming close friends and musical collaborators, and playing bass on Zevon's eponymous 1976 album, which included the hit single "Werewolves of London.” He also talks in depth about how he came to sing on Warren's tribute album, “Enjoy Every Sandwich” where he sang a cover of “Keep Me In Your Heart.” Jorge played a significant role in helping Warren finish writing the song which ultimately became one of Zevon's most beloved and poignant compositions. For Calderon, the experience of helping his friend complete the song was both deeply moving and a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and human connection. In the years since Zevon's passing, Calderon has continued to honor his memory and legacy through his own music, and remains a cherished member of the wider music community as a result of his many contributions to the world of rock, folk, and pop music

The 2003 episode that David Letterman devoted entirely to a single guest, Warren Zevon, stands out as one of Dave's signature episodes and the frank and revealing conversation they had about Zevon's terminal lung cancer diagnosis is but one of many fascinating layers to that appearance that this episode of the podcast explores. Issues of ambition, ego, addiction, self-medication and recovery were shared by both of these talented and tortured entertainers.  Zevon's life and career were shadowed by his alcoholism, his brief period of 12-Step sobriety, and the abstinence from alcohol and drugs he would give up upon receiving his terminal cancer diagnoses.  Letterman has spoken openly about his own father's alcoholism and sobriety in AA, and his own decision to stop drinking in 1984 and how his life and work has been altered by that decision. In their many meetings on Letterman's shows, these issues and many others would be crackling in the fore and background. This episode was inspired by Crystal Zevon's incredible, heart-wrenching oral biography of her ex-husband Warren Zevon, a contemplation of Zevon's many appearances on the David Letterman shows over the years, and a lifelong fascination with reading between the lines of rock biographies.

The 1916 murder of orphan tennis star Freida Weichman was a callous and brutal act. But, the arrogant bungling of her killer, Milo Piper, "The Untalented Mr. Ripley" is a darkly comic master class in the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Be sure to hang around for the surprise ending…

The title says it all. from 44 AD to 2020, Zevon delivers tales of notorious farts that triggered horrific violence. From "Fart out of Jail Free Card," to "I'll Gut You in a Dollar General," there's no limit to just how murdery human beings can be. Sometimes "Cutting the Cheese," leads to "Cutting a B****."

Anna Draksin, "Baba Anujka," was the world's oldest (and possibly most-prolific serial killer). She was also a master chemist, a probable genius, and arguably the first CEO of Murder Inc.; turning her licensed "witch doctor," business into a million dollar enterprise in the early decades of the 20th century. She became such a successful murderer that she actually hired an AGENT, who hired more field agents, to act as traveling "Murder Saleswomen." Find out more, on this episode of Kinda Murdery.

The early life of Verle Peter Dills (twin brother of Merle Dills) reads like the opening scenes of a movie about an American golden boy. He was born in 1947, the early years of the baby boom, he was an honor student, an athlete and a student council member. But, somewhere along the way, things went sideways and by 2007, at age 60, Verle Dills became internationally famous as the man who spent years videotaping himself humping street signs - which sounds like an internet punchline, but the truth is much darker than that...What went so horribly wrong?Timestamp Notes: 0:00-14:45: Zevon shares about his life, how he's feeling, the meaning of, "Kinda Murdery," AND EXCITING NEWS: THE KINDA MURDERY HOTLINE: (888) MURDERY that's (888) 687-3379 is LIVE!14:45-38:05: "The Increasingly Dark Life of Verle Peter Dills" Sources: https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/bubba-humps#lightbox-popup-1https://www.cracked.com/pictofacts-278-21-insane-true-sex-stories-you-thought-were-urban-legendshttps://jalopnik.com/south-dakota-man-arrested-for-sex-with-street-signs-285080https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/services/publications/fhwaop02084/index.htmVarious articles from www.newspapers.com search term: "Verle Dills"

Enjoy, "The Best of Kinda Murdery: INSOMNIAC," and an update on Zevon's activities. To quote the Simpsons, "Sorry for the Clipshow! Never fear we've got stories for years..." Don't worry, a fresh story is coming on Sunday. Remember, if you haven't heard it, it's new to you!

The rockstar Warren Zevon had been on the top of the Billboard charts. He'd been on the cover of Rolling Stone. He'd been admired by other great artists and musicians like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty. The heights of fame were enjoyable, but it took a jarring diagnosis of terminal lung cancer to give Zevon the kind of perspective that only a *memento mori* moment can give. And when it came, he passed it along in a very simple, very practical piece of advice:Enjoy every sandwich.✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
