Song of the Day 10/4: Warren Zevon, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”

Odds are that Trump will recover from his bought of COVID, simply because most people who catch it, even those in high-risk categories, survive. But he is both old and obese, and reportedly got really scared when his temperature spiked (no surprise; high fever can cause delirium, so who knows what happens to someone who’s delirious most of the time).

If he were the tough guy he pretends to be, he’d face hit fate with a little dignity, maybe even a little humor. That’s what Warren Zevon did when he included Bob Dylan’s classic on his final album, “The Wind,” released in August 2003, two weeks before he died.
