Love the song and this cover of it. The slight tremors in the vocals speak volumes of angst and vulnerability. And I like the fact that unlike most covers he didn’t change smith corona to smith and Wesson. True to Zevon’s original.

Thomas Hermann Sounds neat, but i like the smith and wesson. Linda’s was the 1 st version that I ever heard, and she said S+W, just adds more Spunk, although I no what Warren meant.

Linda was a visionary 43 years ago when she sang that she pawned her Smith & Wesson instead of Smith Corona. You walk into any pawn shop today and you will get good money for a Smith & Wesson, but show up with a Smith Corona and if they even figure out what it is they will laugh you out of the place. To be fair though Zevon’s original demo did have it as Smith & Wesson. He never really explained why he changed it from a gun to a typewriter when he cut it for an album years later.

And I'm not sure why Ronstadt did (although the "heroin" to "pale moon" is quite understandable). I would think mentioning a notorious Saturday Night Special gun would be more "controversial" than a common typewriter. ? I still have not heard anyone mention Zdude's "original" final verse, though, about the Big Samoan b/f ..
