Wonder what ZZ Top's royalty cut is ????

What I like about ZZ Top is that (AFAIK) most of their songs are credited to all members of ZZ Top (Frank Beard, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill) and not just the one (or two) member (like you see with other bands), so they share equally the royalty cut (that is real friendship which in their case goes back a long long time)

Noticed that myself, and agree, well done.

 

Bowie was well known for being a bit tight with the money.  Reading SRV autobiography (?), and an excerpt about Bowie offering him a ridiculously low per show fee to tour with him.  He could make more money in a roadhouse bar by himself.

When young and just really getting known

 

As i saw this one from 1967, a chameleon in his music

 

Never thought, with this first single, this woman would built an amazing career. Also quite a chameleon. First thought, ah nice to see, one day fly, but mistaken.

 

And then some time later, totally different

Was watching movie from Quentin Tarantino, From Dusk Till Dawn.

At the end of the movie there is a song "dark night", liked it but was too short.

Well here it is

It's been a while since I've played this delicate, dark and beautiful Mexican flavoured '76 live performance of Carmelita by Warren Zevon with David Lindley on guitar.  The studio version is on Zevon's '76 self-titled debut.

Give this a bit a volume so that you don't miss the crispness of each tone of Lindley's soft guitar strumming.

The studio version is equally superb with the Eagles' Glenn Frey on acoustic guitar and David Lindley on banjo.

Some interesting history on Warren Zevon's father:

Zevon was born in Chicago, the son of Beverly Cope (née Simmons) and William Zevon. His father was a Jewish immigrant from Ukraine, whose original surname was Zivotofsky.  William Zevon worked as a bookie who handled volume bets and dice games for the notorious Los Angeles mobster Mickey Cohen.  He worked for years in the Cohen crime family, in which he was known as Stumpy Zevon, and was best man at Cohen's first wedding.
