Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner

What a massively under appreciated song writer Warren Zevon was. A man taken from us far too early, but leaving a legacy of unique work that so many aspects of the human condition with a warmth and humour that few others could touch. Take Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner (and the rest of the sensational Excitable Boy album) what sort of genius mind takes a topic like the Biafran/Congolese wars of the late 60s and delivers a song of pathos, humour and brutality, yet never trivialises his hero, Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner. Respect to Warren Zevon, the man was a genius.
