| | Warren Zevon : Forgotten Rock Star (JMcQ) by JMcQ |
 | | Another strong album, but one that is much more darker in tone than its predecessors, Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School had the major hit “A Certain Girl” (#45 on Billboard charts), and the chest-beating “Play It All Night Long”, the emotion-filled “Jeannie Needs A Shooter”, and the immensely introspective “Gorilla, You’re A Desperado”. |
 | | On the heels of Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School, Asylum released Stand in the Fire, a live album that collected his greatest hits; “Excitable Boy”, Lawyers, Guns, and Money”, “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me”, with a number of new and unreleased songs, “Stand in the Fire”, “Sin”, “Bo Diddley”. |
 | | 1982’s The Envoy would be the flipside of Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School, dealing with the continual process of being sober and the changes that Zevon had made in his life since his detoxification. |
