Fleeting Images

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo Snatched the glasses right off my face Took the keys to my BMW Left me here to take his place I wish the ape a lot of success I'm sorry my apartment's a mess Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue I'm betting the gorilla will, too They say Jesus will find you wherever you go But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know In the meantime, keep your profile low Gorilla, you're a desperado He built a house on an acre of land He called it 'Villa Gorilla' Now I hear he's getting divorced Laying low at L'Ermitage, of course Then the ape grew very depressed Went through Transactional Analysis He plays racquetball and runs in the rain Still he's shackled to a platinum chain Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo Snatched the glasses right off my face Took the keys to my BMW Left me here to take his place - Warren Zevon

The Weeknd's pivotal erection.

Saw the not-dead Nirvana play but my highlight of the night was when Mick Rock took me to one side and went: "Look at those pretty American ladies. That's why I couldn't get away from New York... the quality of the cocaine and the girls in those days was phenomenal."

Hemingway's six-toed cats at his house in Key West. My idea of paradise. (Of course I bought the T-shirt. Gnarly has so much to answer for.)
