Warren Zevon

Joseph Deumer, at reading & writing, has a Warren Zevon review...

Hell is Only Half Full

There's room for you and me . . . Warren Zevon has known from the start that hell is where they play rock & roll. In this, as well as in his romanticism, he resembles the great eighteenth century poet William Blake: "Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy."

Hell is only half full
Room for you and me
Looking for a new fool
Who's it gonna be?
It's the dance of Shiva
It's the Debutantes Ball
And everyone will be there
Who's anyone at all
