Lawyers, Guns and Money...
...which, oddly enough, was the subject of last week's Criminal Procedure class. Now that I'm going to be a criminal defense attorney it rings true.
But all of that is ancillary to the true nature of this blog post. I just purchased A Quiet Normal Life the best of Warren Zevon, and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" is one of the songs on the compilation. Warren Zevon rocks! "Werewolves of London" alone is worth the purchase. My only complaint is the lack of "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead." Which is both a good movie and an excellent song. So in honor of the late Warren Zevon I present to you the lyrics to "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead."
I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone
I said, Buddy, I'm afraid to be alone
'Cause I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you're dead
I was working on a steak the other day
And I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you die
You won't need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
LeRoy says there's something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream of things to do in Denver when you're dead
You won't need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day
You just roll around Denver all day
Oh, gentle readers (both of you), there is nothing quite like sitting around and imagining the number of things that I shall do in Denver when I'm dead. Because when I go (I shall instruct my heirs that when I am near death they are to put me on a mesa on the Western Slope with a rifle, a fishing rod and three days of water), I'm so haunting Denver. I'll hang out at the Brown Palace with all the other ghosts and we'll have a great time scaring the presidents and popes and debutantes there. Just ask Baby Doe Tabor.
