I've had "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" in my head for going on a week (it's tapering off now but comes back in bursts) and it's not such a bad thing to have playin in there.

Excellent list - I have Mr. Zevon in my queue for an upcoming installment on My Thermos so I'll hold off on adding my own.

I've wanted to see the Letterman appearance again for a while now. Was heartbreaking the first time, not sure I can handle it again though.

Keep Me In Your Heart tears me up with every listen - such an amazing song.

Zevon's someone whose work I think I should probably own more of... I've only got 'The Best Of'... and I used to have 'Transverse City', but I'm not sure where that one went... But it was good. I remember I really liked 'Splendid Isolation', 'Turbulence' and 'Nobody's in Love This Year'.

Excellent list. I think I'm most impressed by your being able to narrow it down to a handful of songs. Gawd, I miss him ...

An impossible task, Nat! But:

Desperadoes Under the Eaves
Join Me in LA
She Left Me
Mr Bad Example
Boom Boom Mancini
The Envoy
Suzie Lightning
Genius
Tenderness on the Block

and
If You Won't Leave Me I'll Find Somebody Who Will
(best ever TV theme tune that was never used - LOL)

Londo! Good to see you around. I love all of those, too. It's hard to find a Zevon song I don't really like!

What TV show was that not used for?
