Warren Zevon - Poor Poor Pitiful Me

   Warren Zevon nació en Chicago, IL en 1947 y murió en 2003 en Los Angeles, CA. Músico de músicos, Jackson Browne fue su mecenas -como de otros tantos.
Su discografía es para disfrutarla despacio y con mesura, como harías con un buen vino. 
   Esta canción se publicó en el disco Warren Zevon de 1976 producida por Jackson Browne y con coros de Lindsey Buckingham. De ella se han hecho infinidad de versiones.

 

   Here's the gender-altered Linda Ronstadt's version for her album Simple Dreams published in 1977. There's also another Warren Zevon song in this album: Carmelita.

 

   Late in 2002 after Warren Zevon was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer, he appeared as the only guest on the David Letterman Show. The band played "I'll sleep when I'm dead" as his introduction. Letterman asked if he knew something more about life and dead now:
   - Letterman: Do you perhaps know something that I don't know?
   - Warren Zevon: Not unless I know how much... How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich.
   This is the 4th track of the tribute album Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon, Poor Poor Pitiful Me performed by Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt.
