"Well, it's tough to be somebody
And it's hard to keep from fallin' apart
Up here on Rehab Mountain
We gonna learn these things by heart"
- Warren Zevon, from "Detox Mansion" off of Sentimental Hygiene
You really need to hear this song to understand it's power. Zevon plays a hellofa guitar on this one, and his singing is truly passionate. After reading his wife's biography of this "moralist in cynic's clothing" (I'll Sleep When I'm Dead), I've come to know just how much of this song came straight from his soul.
