WARREN ZEVON
Warren Zevon had plenty of influence. "Zevon's work has often been praised by well-known musicians, including Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. His best-known compositions include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Johnny Strikes Up the Band", all of which are featured on his third album, Excitable Boy (1978). Other well-known songs written by Zevon have been recorded by other artists, including "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" (a huge hit for Linda Ronstadt), "Accidentally Like a Martyr", "Mohammed's Radio", "Carmelita", and "Hasten Down the Wind."

I loved his song "Werewolves of London" that plays in the movie, American Werewolf in London. The song was released in 1978 as part of the "Excitable Boy" album. The movie came out in 1981. I thought it was much later, say, around
1984.
Another
song that got a lot of playing time back in the late 1970s, the favorite time
of my life, was Zevon's song "Excitable Boy."
