Betty Bureaucrat searches for Warren Zevon

Betty tried to recapture her youth today, looking for old tunes by Warren Zevon. While I can appreciate Warren's last works, his earlier drink- and drug-induced lyrics really spoke to me at a time when I was slightly less jaded and cynical. I was slightly disappointed with both websites. Pandora brought up some if-you-like-Warren, you might like this tunes and, frankly, I didn't. FineTune was a bit better but I think these websites are best used by people too lazy to get up and change CD's.

I'm too lazy to change a CD, but I'm also too lazy to set up a Finetunes account. What product out there is available for those of use who are truly lazy?

If you liked 'Lawyers, Guns and Money' you'd like....hmmm, a new product for Novelist (Tunelist??)

In this case, you really can't blame the sites. There really isn't anyone else like Warren Zevon, nor is ther likely to be.
Have you heard "Preludes," the collection of some of his earliest material? How about the remastered versions of "Excitable Boy" and "Stnad in the Fire," which were released last year? Sounds to me like the latter might be perfect for you!

Sweet Joe, the music delivery product for the truly lazy is called 'car radio'.
