I've written, I've written.
You wrote most of his songs?
Most of them.
Admitted it.
No.
Titles and first lines.
Yeah, just kind of gave him the idea.
You gave him the titles and the ideas. That's right.
For books sometimes.
I can't believe it.
That's true.
Warren, how could you take credit? All right.
Talented songwriter, musician, and singer.
Ladies and gentlemen, once again, please say hello to Warren Zeevon.

Thank you very much.

I wrote that one.
Who wanted Werewolves of Lima?
Remember that?

The Apocalyptic Kingston Trio Tour.
Oh, good.
Where_

Well, I'm out with Timothy Schmidt and Dan Dugmore, you know,
and their idea of an intimate venue is like going from a stadium to an arena.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I see.
And we played some_
we played some clubs.
We went to a club in Kansas.

Oh, that's_
that's a bad sign.
That's terrible. _ _
