Warren Zevon - Johnny Strikes up the Band

[MSBGold1]

Remember buying an album, taking it home, unwrapping it, taking out the vinyl, putting it on the turntable a soaking it all in? I remember this one like it was yesterday.

Warren Zevon was originally married to Linda Ronstadt of the Stone Ponies.

@ghoststarstalk This is not correct. He was only married once, and that was to Crystal Zevon from 1974 to 1979.

hey, thanks for the upload!! One thing--the song is actually called "Johnny Strikes up the Band"

..so you forgot the "s" after "strike".

This is a true rock and roll anthem!!!!

[MaciusTadas]

I especially like first two lines:

"Dry your eyes my little friend

Let me take you by the hand"

[BobbieDeeT]

Have loved this one since …well…Excitable Boy, in 1978.

Enjoy Every Sandwich.
