Reply to comment by yousyveshughs in This weekend is the 20th anniversary of Warren Zevon's final appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman by TheResurrection

Zevon is pretty much the definition of underrated. He has a massive catalog filled with classics and certified bangers. But all most people know is “aaaWOOOOOO WEREWOLVES OF LONDON!”

My uncle loved Zevon and about 30 years ago went to see him live. Zevon started the show with “let’s get this over with” then did Warewolves of London. After it was done, Zevon said “ok. I’ll give the people leaving a minute to go.” Waited a full minute then started in with the rest of the show.

Haha...that's great. His humor was always on point, even when he knew he was a goner. Beautifully flawed human being in all the right ways.

I wish artists at festivals did this.

I saw her earlier this month and “Call Me Maybe” is like the dead center of the set list now. Her following is dedicated, though, so everyone around us knew all the songs.

Worse. They don't even know Werewolves of London, they know the wretched Kid Rock song that samples it.

I especially hate that song because it makes me think I'm going to hear Werewolves and then just pulls the rug out.
