Music for a Sunday: I heard the general whispering to his aide-de-camp

I first heard this lovely, understated song done country-style by Linda Ronstadt (who, of course, does it justice, and very sweetly). But hearing this earlier rendition made me fall in love with it all over again. Warren Zevon lifts it to a level that most rock never even approaches. And he does it without ear-shattering volume, crazy gyrations, outlandish costumes, or a single smashed guitar. Learn from the master, kids.
