In honor of Zevon Appreciation Evening, a stupid little art thing I did.



E- while in Iraq, I sent a girl flowers with the card saying "Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money. The poo poo has hit the fan. XOXO"

Which might not have given the best impression

Just FYI he wrote and recorded this before he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

For some reason, I always thought that that "I have to leave" was a way of him communicating that he knew he was on his way out.

He had no clue. That whole Album was about getting older, and he was thinking about the end. It was a few years later that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Mesothelioma.

I cannot recommend his final appearance on Letterman. It's available on YT, and is amazing. Warren was the only guest, and it's crazy to hear this man just be so exposed about his coming demise. He does a few songs, too.


If you want a real tear jerker, look up Dawes cover of 'Desperados Under the Eaves' on Letterman, when David shares an incredibly touching story.

Pretty same.
The song gets slightly more enjoyable when you find out the Werewolves in question are male escorts.

Putin has tossed out the START treaty in a speech this morning. I'm sure there is someone that believes this means Russia nuking Ukraine, but I doubt that will happen. What is the end game here other than an attempt at North Korea style "diplomacy"?

Russia never renewed the regular inspections after they were mutually suspended in 2020 over COVID, and since they're still saying they'll abide by the caps and information sharing agreements nothing is practically changing. I don't think there is any "game" here besides just talking poo poo for the domestic audience.

Trump helped kneecap START anyways, including gutting the Open Skies treaty.

So yeah, there was little holding them to it.

August of last year, though inspections were put on a pause in March 2020 due to other world events which would make travel to and from Russia a bad idea.

Yeah, that's the proper read. Putin isn't loving with the warhead caps and even his speech today was just a reheated speech from 6 months ago with no policy changes. Classic case of the propaganda saying one thing and the actions saying another thing. Not too much to worry about and nothing really new.

I wonder if he even expects things to change at this point. It sounds like he's tired of this too and is just reading canned spam messaging.

Nah, I did a version with a head. I took 1/6 scale figures and gave them period accurate equipment and weapons. I actually had an entire mercenary team set up like that. I was 22 at the time. Lol

Hail Fail Satan.

Seems like a Sarmat 2 (aka Satan 2) ICBM test launch failed around the time Dark Brandon was touring Ukraine's rail infrastructure. Maybe this contributed to why Putin looked so dejected during his announcement - his big demonstration to go along with renouncing New START failed.
