Zevon had wanted to end with "Mutineer," a song he had written some years before for his fans or customers, as he preferred to call them. (BTW, its also one of the several Zevon songs that Bob Dylan covered regularly on his tour the summer Zevon was dying. As someone once pointed out, everyone covers Dylan, but Dylan covers very few.) But yes, "Roland" is definitely a great song -- as indeed were the vast majority of Zevon's songs throughout his career. Few songwriters are as good 20 or 30 years on as thy were when they got started -- Zevon was. He is missed.catstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234713067290287757noreply@blogger.com
