Warren Zevon

In the late ’70s, Warren Zevon was known for his wild lifestyle—and his sharp tongue. One night, after an especially chaotic show, a fan gushed, "Warren, you're like a cross between Hunter S. Thompson and Jackson Browne!" Without missing a beat, Zevon grinned and replied, "Yeah, only I can’t write like either of them, but I can drink like both." That was peak Zevon: self-deprecating, sharp as a knife, and always chasing a good line, whether in lyrics or life. He was the kind of guy who could turn a hangover into a punchline and a heartbreak into a rock anthem.
