The pure brilliance of this man continues to astonish me. He could nail every possible emotion with song. You want anger, rage, resentment? He gives you Finishing Touches. Pure Genius as always!
Hey guys, men can be sociopaths too! Believe me I went through hell and I'm here to say Hail Warren but that bastard didn't put the finishing touches on me !
Sounds like the way my ex-wife was too me. The joke has always been on men, when men cheat and are found out, they do try to redeem them selves. But when woman cheat they try to justify their actions. I never once cheated on my wife, but for years she did to me, and she blamed me for her actions. Now she’s married to the one she cheated on with me, but she wants me to be friends with her and her new husband. I will never understand woman they are cruel.
What a great effing song! ldolphin is right - love the way Warren struts out on stage and takes it over. Also love the long hair...it's, um...perfect! Love live Warren Zevon!
This song has no rival, apart from Dylan's "Idiot Wind". Nevertheless, it is even more ominous, by being all encompassing. No imagination is required, and this is exemplified by Zevon's performance here; no minced words, no poetry, and absolutely no doubt, that this relationship, is a "fait accompli". Mr. Zevon's demeanor is staggering, and says as much as the words, for any who could possibly be left in doubt.
WZ got his swagger back and on the top of his game again after many years of fighting his own demons and life itself @ this very moment,place and the people surrounding him during this 3:43 in his life!
I swear I have watched this video like 50 times in a row, just admiring the way he could strut out to the mic like he was going to fight MMA and deliver those brutal lyrics with aplomb.
This guy was more than attitude - and he had plenty of that.
RIP Warren - you won't need to put any Finishing Touches on any more.
The late, great Warren Zevon. I saw this when it originally aired in '91 - had a VHS tape of it but lost it years ago - thanks for posting it! The album this song comes from, "Mr. Bad Example," had been out of print for years - glad to see it reissued last year!
You say its all my fault some people like to be punished they keep coming back for more but i'm sick and tired and my cock is sore you can screw everybody i've ever known but i still wont talk to you on the phone it's a hopeless cause there's use crying and i can die you can die we can die trying !!!!!
The man is a Genius ! The story of a lieing cheating woman that likes week men that are 20 years older than her so she can go out nite crawling. And she tries to blame everyone else for her sick twisted ways. BAd KArma !
Epic singer and songwriter...one of the very best....

This is exactly 10 times better than the studio version. Warren is almost pissed off here, which is how the song should be sung.

You can't say cock on TV? That's silly...
Great song, great album, great live version. I also love that he's just standing up there with no guitar/piano, almost "preaching" it.
Superb.

I first heard this song as a sophomore at Cornell University.
What a musical talent this man was. The world will miss men like Warren Zevon.
Rest in peace, my friend....
