I love Warren Zevon’s collected works and I knew he was friends with Stephen King but watching an interview with Stephen King made it clearer what they had in common. Mutual admiration society. In the interview King says when writing you have to follow the character and you don’t necessarily know where the character is going or what the story is about. That’s what gets me about Warren Zevon, Randy Newman too. I pawned my smith corona and I went to meet my man. He hangs out on Alvarado street by the Pioneer Chicken Stand.
