Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon's career culminated in a period of renewed appreciation towards the end of the 1990s, particularly when he released the album "Life'll Kill Ya" in 2000, just prior to his passing in 2003. The live performance referenced, featuring Adam Sandler covering "Werewolves of London" on "The Late Show with David Letterman," highlights the cultural impact of Zevon's work, especially during a time when he was gaining recognition as a rock legend. Sandler's comedic take on the song, which originally appeared on Zevon's 1978 album "Excitable Boy," underscores both the enduring popularity of his music and the crossover appeal Zevon had, even amidst his personal health struggles. The performance not only reintroduced Zevon's signature track to a new audience but also showcased the whimsical spirit that characterized much of his songwriting. This exposure helped revitalize interest in Zevon's catalog, contributing to his legacy as an artist well worth exploring.
