That's certainly been true up to this point, what with George Michael and Cyndy Lauper being ahead of him, as well as some of the other more obscure and absurd inductions that I 've seen in the past. But I believe that if anyone ever did deserve to get into the Hall it has to be Warren.And I sure I'm not alone in that.
My favorite is Desperados Under the Eaves,which Warren wrote about his battle with alcoholism.Anyone who has ever struggled with it can sympathize with the haunting imagery of the lyrics in this song.
"Lawyers, Guns, and Money" was pretty good too!
I may be showing my age here but the first time I heard Warren was at a Black Sabbath show in Philadelphia in August of 75.Lawyers,Guns and Money was playing over the PA when we were coming in, and it immediately got stuck in my craw.I set out to find as much as I could about him.And that started a love affair with his music that has endured right up till the present day.
He really does, no doubt.His was the kind of talent that only comes around once in a lifetime.Always loved his logo, a skull smoking a cigarette.One of the cruel ironies of his passing was that even though he was a heavy smoker, the cancer that took him isn't related to smoking.It does make one think about things a bit more than usual.
Oh yeah. Hit Somebody(The Hockey Song), his sense of humor came through like gangbusters on this one.There are so many others, such as Mohammed's Radio, Accidentally Like a Martyr,and my personal favorite, Desperados Under the Eaves.
