- Warren William Zevon byl americký rockový zpěvák a skladatel známý svými kontroverzními texty, často s politickou tématikou. Mezi nejznámější písně patří např. Warewolves of London, Lawyers, Guns and Money a Keep Me In Your Heart. Nejznámější deska je pravděpodobně album Excitable Boy, vydané roku 1978 a remasterované roku 2007. Nazpíval cover verze písní některých známých autorů jako je Leonard Cohen ("First We Take Manhattan") nebo Bob Dylan ("Knockin' on Heaven's Door").
- Warren William Zevon war ein US-amerikanischer Rock-’n’-Roll-Musiker und Songwriter. Gekennzeichnet hat ihn vor allem seine ironische, fast zynische Lebensauffassung, die sich in seinen oft schwarzhumorigen Songs widerspiegelt – Zevon griff oft politische oder historische Themen auf. Er war nicht nur Freund von diversen Autoren wie Hunter S. Thompson, Carl Hiaasen, Ross Macdonald, Thomas McGuane oder Paul Muldoon, er war auch ein ausgezeichneter Kenner von Musik, Kunst, Film und Literatur. Dieses kulturelle Wissen fand sich oft nach Art der Postmoderne in Anspielungen und Zitaten in seiner Musik wieder. Zudem arbeitete Zevon gerne mit befreundeten Autoren zusammen und schrieb mit ihnen Songs. Alle obengenannten Autoren haben in Kooperation mit Zevon mindestens ein Lied geschrieben. Zevon blieb einem größeren Publikum als One-Hit-Wonder mit dem Song Werewolves of London in Erinnerung, war aber unter Kollegen einer der meistgeschätzten Songwriter. Auf ihn trifft der Begriff Kultstar zu – er verkaufte, abgesehen von Werewolves of London und dem dazugehörigen Album Excitable Boy, nie Unmengen von Platten, hatte und hat aber eine treue Fangemeinde.
- Warren William Zevon /ˈziːvɒn/ (January 24, 1947 – September 7, 2003) was an American rock singer-songwriter and musician noted for including his sometimes sardonic opinions of life in his musical lyrics, composing songs that were sometimes humorous and often had political or historical themes. Zevon's work has often been praised by well-known musicians, including Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. His best-known compositions include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Johnny Strikes Up The Band," all of which are featured on his third album, Excitable Boy (1978). Other well-known songs written by Zevon have been recorded by other artists, including "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" (a top 40 hit by Linda Ronstadt), "Accidentally Like a Martyr," "Mohammed's Radio", "Carmelita", and "Hasten Down the Wind". Along with his own compositions, Zevon recorded or performed occasional covers, including Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan". He was a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman and The Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman later performed guest vocals on "Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)" with Paul Shaffer and members of the CBS Orchestra on Warren Zevon's "My Ride Is Here" album.
- Warren William Zevon fue un cantautor estadounidense de ascendencia judía. Su particular punto de vista sobre la vida le hizo dar a sus canciones un tono oscuro y sórdido que a menudo complementaba con la ironía que siempre le caracterizó. Tuvo una vida llena de altibajos, con constantes problemas en su vida personal (divorcios, alcoholismo, intentos de suicidio... ) que se complementaban con un gran reconocimiento entre sus compañeros de profesión entre los que destacaban Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Neil Young o R.E.M. Probablemente, su tema más conocido para el gran público sea "Werewolves of London" de su disco "Excitable Boy"; canción que cantaba Tom Cruise en la película "El color del dinero" de Martin Scorsese, aunque también ha sido versionada por gente como The Flamin' Grooves. Más allá de eso compuso excelentes temas como "Splendid Isolation", "Mohammed's Radio" o "Carmelita" que ha sido versionada por grandes como Bruce Springsteen o Counting Crows. A nivel de discos, su LP más reconocido es Sentimental Hygiene donde estuvo rodeado de todo un elenco de colaboradores de primer nivel donde destacaban Peter Buck, Mike Mills y Bill Berry de R.E.M. , Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Mike Campbell del grupo de Tom Petty, Flea de Red Hot Chilli Peppers, o Don Henley de The Eagles entre otros. A pesar de esto, su discografía ha pasado a estar prácticamente descatalogada y tan sólo pueden conseguirse sus discos originales a través de tiendas especializadas o tiendas online. En 2002 se le diagnosticó un cáncer de pulmón con una esperanza de vida de tan sólo tres meses. Finalmente pudo combatir a la enfermedad durante un año, tiempo que le permitió grabar un último disco, The Wind, que se publicó una semana antes de su muerte, donde colaboró Billy Bob Thornton con una versión de la conocida canción de Bob Dylan Knockin' on Heaven's Door y en la que Zevon hacía unos escalofriantes coros "Open up, open up fo me". Su enfermedad también le sirvió para ganarse un poco de esa popularidad que su estilo de vida siempre le había negado, llegando a ser el primer artista al que el Late at Night with David Letterman de la CBS le dedicó todo un programa completo (30-10-2002).
- Warren William Zevon oli yhdysvaltalainen laulaja ja lauluntekijä. Hänet tunnettiin erityisesti laulunsanoituksistaan, jotka olivat toisaalta humoristisia mutta myös pessimistisiä ja jotka käsittelivät usein amerikkalaista elämäntapaa ja politiikkaa kiinnostavalla tavalla.

- Warren William Zevon was één van de meest scherpzinnige en wild-satirische liedjesschrijvers uit zijn tijd. Hij was een zanger die de zelfspot niet schuwde en iedere vorm van sentimentaliteit afwees. Hij werd bekend met de liedjes Carmelita, Poor, Poor Pitiful Me, Hasten Down The Wind, Mohammed's Radio, maar vooral met de hit Werewolves of London.
- Warren William Zevon var en amerikansk musiker kjent for sine mørke og undertiden morsomme tekster. Han er far til musikeren Jordan Zevon. Zevon kanskje mest kjente låt er «Werewolves of London», hvis kjennemerke er den makabre teksten og Zevons uling i refrenget. I 2004 ble det første verset av sangen kåret til den beste åpningslinjen i en sang: I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein Han var sammen med Bill Murray den første gjesten på Late Night with David Letterman 1. februar 1982 og var siden erstatter for Paul Shaffer og gjest gjentatte ganger i tiden mellom 1982 og 2001. 30. oktober 2002 var han som eneste gjest på Late Show with David Letterman for å fortelle om sykdommen sin. Til slutt i programmet spilte han «Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner» på forespørsel fra David Letterman, og det var den siste sangen Warren Zevon noen gang fremførte for offentligheten. Etter programmet ga Zevon bort gitaren sin til Letterman og sa: «Her, jeg vil at du skal ha den, ta godt vare på den. » Fra plata My Ride's Here fra 2002 snakker Letterman på sangen «Hit Somebody!(The Hockey Song)». Zevon døde av lungekreft den 7. september 2003.
- Warren Zevon - amerykański śpiewak i kompozytor rockowy. Obok Boba Dylana i Neila Younga jeden z najciekawszych pieśniarzy folk-rockowych, choć od obu dużo słabiej znany. Utwory Zevona charakteryzowały się rockową ostrością, a teksty ich były bardzo niepoprawne politycznie oraz przesycone czarnym humorem i obsesją śmierci. Największy przebój Zevona to Werewolves of London. Warren Zevon najlepiej znany jest ze swej długiej kariery solowej lecz karierę muzyczna rozpoczął w 1965 w duecie wokalnym Lyme & Cybelle z Violet Santangelo. W połowie 2002 u Zevon'a, który przez całe dorosłe życie intensywnie palił, zdiagnozowano raka płuc. W tym czasie w jednym z wywiadów powiedział: Wybrałem pewną ścieżkę i żyłem jak Jim Morrison i żyłem 30 lat dłużej. Dokonujesz wyborów i musisz żyć z ich konsekwencjami. Od tego momentu przeżył ponad rok zdoławszy nagrać nowy album The Wind i doczekał się wnuków (bliźniaków). Zmarł w swym domu w Los Angeles w niedzielę 7 września 2003.
- Warren William Zevon, född 24 januari 1947 i Chicago, Illinois, död 7 september 2003 i Los Angeles, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk rockmusiker. Zevons far var av rysk-judisk härkomst, och hans mor var amerikansk mormon. Han var oerhört talangfull och intelligent som barn, och ska ha fått det högsta resultatet som någonsin gjorts i Fresno, Kalifornien i ett IQ-test. Han lyckades trots detta inte särskilt bra i skolan, mest på grund av att hans familj flyttade runt mycket. Han arbetade i övre tonåren på musikbolaget White Whale där han skrev låtar åt exempelvis The Turtles. 1967 fick Zevon kontrakt med Imperial Records men försäljningsframgångar uteblev. 1987 fick han en stor hit med en låt om boxaren Ray Mancini. Han turnerade med Everly Brothers och arbetade med namn som R.E.M. , Bob Dylan, Neil Young och Don Henley. Den 12 september 2002 meddelande han att han drabbats av malignt mesoteliom, en obotlig typ av lungcancer. Efter diagnosen började Zevon arbeta med ett sista album, The Wind. Den 7 september 2003, en dryg vecka efter skivsläppet, avled Warren Zevon. Han levde tillräckligt länge för att se sina barnbarn födas. Zevon tilldelades två postuma Grammy Awards, för The Wind (Best Contemporary Folk Album) och låten "Disorder in the House", en duett med Bruce Springsteen (Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal).
- Уоррен Уильям Зивон американский рок-музыкант, знаменитый необычным саркастичным видением жизни, отраженном в текстах песен, которые зачастую содержали политические и социальные темы. Несмотря на успех, песни Зивона зачастую становились известными после исполнения более знаменитыми музыкантами. Его наиболее известные композиции это «Werewolves of London», «Lawyers, Guns and Money», «Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner» и «Johnny Strikes Up The Band» вошли в альбом «Excitable Boy» (1978). Другие известные песни написанные им, такие как «Accidentally Like a Martyr», «Mohammed’s Radio», «Carmelita» и «Hasten Down the Wind» были записаны и другими исполнителями. Помимо песен собственного сочинения Зивон исполнил ряд кавер-версий, в частности на песню «Knockin' on Heaven’s Door» Боба Дилана (эта запись вошла в его последний альбом The Wind). Уоррен был частым гостем на шоу Дэвида Леттермана и другом ведущего. Именно на этом шоу состоялось его последнее выступление за полгода до смерти. Уже через несколько лет после смерти приобрел еще один виток популярности после выхода на экраны сериала «Калифрения» на канале Showtime, в саундтреке которого использованы его песни, а сам музыкант неоднократно упоминается по ходу фильма.
