Today’s challenge invites us to share a song we like by an artist no longer living. There are a lot of musical heroes I could choose from. I’ve earlier in this challenge already shined a spotlight on David Bowie and Prince, so here’s my favourite Warren Zevon song, “Accidentally Like A Martyr”

One of many, many favorites by a hero of mine. I used to perform this one as a duet with my brother … the chorus is particularly appropriate at this time of year. <3

OH MAN -- I just found this version I’d never seen before! The real Mr. Tanner (Martin Tubridy of Dayton, OH) performing with Steve Chapin & the band! Break out the tissues. ?

Eric Woolfson — one half of the Alan Parsons Project. This is the title track from his musical based on the life of Sigmund Freud.

Though the “gas fight” scene from Zoolander is a better video for the song. 😉
