He didn’t stay sober and died relatively young. Sounded like he had alienated those close to him. So sad that many talented people fall that way.

What Warren Zevon thought about explaining the meanings of his songs

Ronstadt’s interpretation can’t be validated or invalidated by anything Zevon said. During an interview with the Sun-Sentinel, Zevon said he wrote songs for adults. He didn’t like to explain his songs because he felt that would take away from their meaning.
