i worked 30 years as a fireman boy on the Pennsylvania Line and ended up just a derelict drinkin Boone's Farm apple wine oh where can a bum find bed and board WHEN YOU GONNA MAKE STOP RAININ LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
ilove it WARREN ZEVON ladies and gentlemen truely one of a kind i 'dlove to hear a song about kadafi and bin laden THAT WOULD RULE !!!!!!!!
YEAH WHEN YOU GONE MAKE IT STOP RAININ LORD its been a shity year thank god warren 's music lives on i do miss him so i think i'll try enjoying sandwich for now
Probably listened to this song 50 times since discovering a week ago. It so simple but strong, straightforward. You can almost feel the cold drizzle and taste the Boones Farm Apple wine. With its high octane a little Mad Dog 20/20 would ward off the chill a little better though.
Aside from being one of the greatest songwriters ever he had a damn good voice right up to the end. Very strong and distinctive like Johnny Cash who also a hell of songwriter. Anybody know if Cash and Zevon ever performed together?
deadrabbit999 my spelling is atrocious however I speak from the heart. I met met Warren one night before the show I asked him about Billy Joel he said he was one of the most pretentious people he ever met. I found this interesting having met Billy Joel years earlier. I have very little formal education.I found Warren Zevon to be one of the nicest people I have ever met. Working in the hotel restaurant industry I have met many from Cher to Hillary and Warren Zevon to John Lennon.
warren zevon your still the best hairyhandedgent you are a true fan TO ALL OF YOU WHO POST WZ MATERIAL I CANNOT THANYOU ENOUGH SO I" LL JUST SAY THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU RIP WARREN I LOST SOME ONE CLOSE TO ME THIS WEEK AND IT WILL BE WARREN"S MUSIC THAT SEES ME THREW
I am from Mechanicsburg and I just heard this song for the first time. Warren Zevon is nuts I would have never believed he would even know about this town, although Bret Michaels is from Mechanicsburg which is a 180 from Zevon lol
Warren was so great, always nice to hear anything by him. Great little song this is, like to sing it between drinks when I'm unwinding and a little bummed out.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE GREATLY ANY AND ALL POSTINGS if i had the money i would buy everything he ever did his son jordan does allow a lot of concert material threw wiklipedia i found a lot of stuff great live material its archived on wiklipedia ispelled that wrong however you know what i mean
It's from a cd that came out last year called Preludes - a demos/outakes thing which also has some quite in-depth interviews. If you are a Zevon fan I'm sure you'd like it.
when ya gonna make it stop raining, lord?

First time I've heard this song. I like it a lot. Too short is the only complaint.
