    We're losing our icons at an alarming rate, this death business has got to be stopped.

    Warren Zevon. Wrote a pile of songs for other artists such as Linda Ronstadt ( " Poor, Poor Pitiful Me " ) famous for signature song; " Werewolves Of London ".
    Covered Dylan's " Knockin' On Heaven's Door " quite nicely.
    My favourite lyric of his;

    Well, I went to the doctor
    I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
    He said, "I'll break it to you, son
    Your shit's fucked up."
    I said, "my shit's fucked up?"
    Well, I don't see how--"
    He said, "The shit that used to work--
    It won't work now."

    I had a dream
    Ah, shucks, oh, well
    Now it's all fucked up
    It's shot to hell

    Yeah, yeah, my shit's fucked up
    It has to happen to the best of us
    The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
    It'll happen to you

    That amazing grace
    Sort of passed you by
    You wake up every day
    And you start to cry
    Yeah, you want to die
    But you just can't quit
    Let me break it on down:
    It's the fucked up shit

    Almost forgot....honorable mention to the song Life'll Kill Ya;

    You've got an invalid haircut
    It hurts when you smile
    You'd better get out of town
    Before your nickname expires
    It's the kingdom of the spiders
    It's the empire of the ants
    You need a permit to walk around downtown
    You need a license to dance

    Life'll kill ya
    That's what I said
    Life'll kill ya
    Then you'll be dead
    Life'll find ya
    Wherever you go
    Requiescat in pace
    That's all she wrote

    From the President of the United States
    To the lowliest rock and roll star
    The doctor is in and he'll see you now
    He don't care who you are
    Some get the awful, awful diseases
    Some get the knife, some get the gun
    Some get to die in their sleep
    At the age of a hundred and one

    Life'll kill ya
    That's what I said
    Life'll kill ya
    Then you'll be dead
    Life'll find ya
    Wherever you go
    Requiescat in pace
    That's all she wrote

    Maybe you'll go to heaven
    See Uncle Al and Uncle Lou
    Maybe you'll be reincarnated
    Maybe that stuff's true
    If you were good
    Maybe you'll come back as someone nice
    And if you were bad
    Maybe you'll have to pay the price

    Life'll kill ya
    That's what I said
    Life'll kill ya
    Then you'll be dead
    Life'll find ya
    Wherever you go
    Requiescat in pace
    That's all she wrote
