On that gun thing, I found this from an interview from around the time of excitable boy. I think Zevon was pretty close to the edge around this time..... "Sometimes he's the most normal person I know," confides Zevon's wife Crystal, 28. "And sometimes he's totally crazy. He's always nice with me and the baby, but every now and then he'll just decide to do something -- like fall down a flight of stairs. I ususally laugh. He's pretty humorous." Even Crystal confesses to being a touch "terrified" now that Warren has invested in a .44 Magnum. Recently, Zevon was so enjoying brandishing the weapon as he ran around his house wearing a duck mask that friends had to corner and disarm him. "In the '60s," Zevon explains, "I couldn't have conceived of owning a gun. Now in the '70s, I feel that nobody's going to mess with me. You go from mindlessly believing in peace to arming yourself to learn how to have it." ummm - yes. Stevie
