Warren Zevon - Don't Let Us Get Sick

Warren Zevon performing "Don't Let Us Get Sick" at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe on 10-13-96. Mitch Albom wrote about this song in his column following Warren's passing calling it "a plaintive prayer". It's every bit of that. Warren was wise and learned from his tribulations about the things that matter most in life, and those things are reflected plainly and simply in this song.

I'm gonna admit it. Didn't like Zevon before Californication... but that was an opinion based solely on Werewolves Of London. I appreciate it when TV can turn me on to something awesome. It doesn't matter how you get to liking a band... if you feel it and like it, power to you.

Very nice job, but one correction -- it's the Bluebird Theater in Denver.

@harchert Exactly the case with me. Californication, besides being the best thing on TV by a mile, has turned me on to some great music...

how can i download this plsssssssssssssssssss?

[harchert]

@boiledhooker I think you should try to think the other way instead. It's good that popular shows, like Californication, uses GOOD music so more people get to hear it and expand their musical horizons. It's not that easy to find good music by yourself, depending on what you're looking for. Sometimes you need a little push, whether it's from a TV-show or movie. Don't hate it, be glad that people get to hear it and maybe they wanna listen to more of Zevon or something similar.
