Warren Zevon's Hasten Down The Wind - Linda Ronstadt

A little more Warren Zevon, this time as interpreted by Linda Ronstadt. The flip side of his worldly-wise humor (Lawyers, Guns, and Money, for example) was his heartbrokeness, as in this song or in Accidentally Like a Martyr. Enjoy isn't quite the right word, so just soak it in.

Best soaked in whilst 'sprawled upon the davenport of despair'.

That's a great line, Schottzie03, because it shows WZ's gift for suggesting real pain behind a joke, but never tipping his hand either way. Not easy to do.
