Okay, nobody guessed that it was Warren Zevon and Bones Howe performing yesterday's mystery song, so no coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded.
However, since I'm a nice guy and because I love all of you, here's a very nice outtake version -- from the sessions for his eponymous debut album on Elektra -- of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me."
Perhaps my favorite Zevon song of them all, if truth be told.
You know, I really wish Waddy Wachtel would wear a buttoned shirt on-stage, but in the studio I guess it doesn't matter. In any case -- is he great on this or what?

Not only is he great, he has the best rock & roll name EVER.
Heh.
:-)
My second-favorite tune on this album. The favorite? "Mama Couldn't be Persuaded."
Waddy will never win a beauty pageant, but he's a helluva guitar player. One of these days I'm going go out to LA and catch one of his regular Saturday night gigs.
