I was probably 7 when I first heard "Werewolves of London". My dad had it on a mix tape that we would listen to on the way up to see my grandmother and great-grandmother in West Virginia. There were a number of songs on there that Jen and I would sing along to, like Steve Earle's "Guitar Town". But nothing got us howling like Warren Zevon. "Ah-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, Werewolves of London! Ah-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"

I had a lot of responsibility throughout my childhood and never really learned what it was like to be a normal kid. I had to grow up too fast. But when I think of that song, it helps me remember sitting there in the back seat of Dad's truck, singing and howling about Lon Chaney Jr. walkin' with the queen - unh! - doin' the Werewolves of London.

So it's not much, but thank you, Warren, for letting me remember what it's like to be a kid. I'll always appreciate your music in general and that song in particular. Thanks.
