Meh, there are quite a few intelligent people that consistently make posts of substance and salience, usually about one or two people that are just there to troll, and maybe one of two more whose arguments don't hold up to scrutiny and don't like that to be shown to be the case in front of the group, and lash out.

 

Filter out the chaff and it's still a worthwhile destination.

 

Just remember that anything remotely “liberal” or Democrat Party is considered “not holding up to scrutiny” as you say and anything that a right wing member posts is not only righteous but obvious by default. Anyone whose viewpoint cannot be understood or empathised with is considered trolling. If you criticise Christianity (or try to place it in an historical perspective) or libertarians you can only be trolling.

Be wary of the keyboard warriors that call you things that they would never say to your face but insist you are a keyboard warrior when you suggest you’d knock them out if they did.

I didn’t know that anyone other than Zevon recorded this song, though I knew he and Ronstadt had a close working relationship. The Zevon version is much better.

I like that version better but I felt this version better exemplified the infantile whinyness of whatever it was that I was responding to.

 

Never heard of this song before now. Zevon's voice always struck me as a "novelty song," voice, whereas Ronstadt is one of the all time greats. Put me down for Linda's. I just watched a documentary about her. Really good.

 

Have you heard anything by him other than Werewolves of London?

Lawyers, Guns, and Money is the only other one I've heard.

He is a really funny and insightful story teller in his songs. He definitely has his “novelty” songs like “Excitable Boy”, “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” or “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead”, but he has much more nuanced stories in Hasten Down the Wind, Mohammed’s Radio, and Carmelita. He’s really great if you don’t mind the voice...I actually like it, but I like Geddy Lee and Bob Dylan, so...

Yeah, I'm not bugged by his voice at all. It totally works for him.

I can't even remember if I have a signature. I haven't seen the full version of this board in over a decade

 

You don't. So no need to worry!
