Today (September 7) is the one year anniversary of the passing Warren Zevon. 
Zevon was a brilliantly gifted singer songwriter. In 3 minutes he could craft 
a tongue-in-cheek song of despair: Poor poor pitiful Me"; a gruesome mercenary 
tale: "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" or even romantic ballads like; 
"Accidentally like a Martyr" and "Reconsider Me" to the eerily prophetic; 
"Life'll Kill Ya". Most folks will remember his own top 40 Hit: the hilarious 
"Werewolves of London." He even wrote a couple of sentimental songs to his Fans: 
"Mutineer" in 1995 and his grand finale "Keep me in your Heart" in 2003.

 Warren recorded 15 albums during his career; but he really liked to play 
Live shows. He performed 12 times at First Avenue in Minneapolis between 1988 and 
2000. His Concert's always had a “wild feel” that drew a very unique group 
of music fans. Zevon would always add Minnesota references during his Live 
Concerts’. Who could forget hearing the Werewolves: “walking thru Nicollet Mall 
in the rain”…. while the fans howled the chorus of “Werewolves of London.” I 
had the pleasure of meeting Zevon several times after his legendary Concerts 
at First Avenue. He was witty, gracious and always there for his fans.
 
The world lost a great musician one year ago. In honor of Warren: I'm playing 
only Zevon music all day...today.
