Accidentally Like A Martyr DSC_9471
The title is a beautiful Warren Zevon song and the name of the tribute show that led to us spending a glorious weekend in the City. Henry Wagons channelled the perfect Zevon.
At one point in the show he asked for three volunteers to come on stage to play an accidental quiz. Of course I didn’t volunteer but I should have given I probably would have won!
Unfortunately Warren suffered from OCD. One of the questions asked was what Warrens’ main compulsion was. It was buying up every single grey Calvin Klein T-shirt in a store. So if he was touring, he would sometimes be late for a concert because he would insist on travelling to all the department stores in the area, sometimes an hour away from the gig to buy out every T-shirt.
“The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time
We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder”

Most know I have an aversion to early mornings so I was very lucky here to step out onto my balcony to make this image.
