i cant believe EvC doesnt know of Warren Zevon's great song!
As soon as you said "Warren", I was thinking of Warren Zevon. I was a big fan but back in the "Werewolves of London" and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" days.
I never heard of "Mutineer". I may be missing some good stuff since I ignore almost all of the crap that poses as "music" these days. (I may be getting old.)

Now I've buried so many, I feel like the last man standing, asking in bemusement, Why me?
Just a few years ago, I was telling my cousins that we're the "older generation" now. In the past year, I've buried three aunts, one uncle and one cousin. Only one uncle left - great guy, looks just like Alice Cooper - and he doesn't expect to last the summer. Forty-some cousins left, only one older than me. I tell people I'd rather have them come to my funeral than have to go to theirs.

I'd like to do what Tom Sawyer did and go to my own funeral. I've been to funerals where the deceased seemed much nicer than they were when they were alive. I wonder how perfect I'll be at my funeral.

Better lawyer up on that one.
I was thinking that lack of perfection is an achievable goal.
