In my late teens, I knew eight or nine people who listened to Warren Zevon, and they were all members of my extended family. That's more or less the same today, so it's nice to hear a couple of his songs featured in the new Judd Apatow film Funny People.
This is the kind of stuff I heard around the house while growing up. I'd like to think that my worldview developed accordingly:
I seem to recall that when you still lived with your parents your dad gave you a fresh copy of one of his albums (which sat unopened in your room) so that you would have it whenever you left the house and went out on your own. That's some pretty awesome fatherly guidance.
