"Linda Ronstadt, who performed cover versions of such Zevon classics as 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me' and 'Carmelita,' said Zevon believed that his musical success came from a unique combination of a 'very poetic sensitivity with this real dark, film noir, Raymond Chandler quality.' She recalled Zevon as an enigmatic character who carried a copy of the military magazine Jane’s Defence Weekly. 'Was he a KGB agent?' she joked and further speculated that she recorded his songs because she 'wanted to be as cool as Warren.'"
