Featured article
"She Quit Me" is a song from Warren Zevon's first album, Wanted Dead or Alive. The song is a standard love ballad, in which the singer laments about how his lover's left him. The line "I got the ace of spades reversed" is reference to the meaning fortune tellers take from this particular card. Right side up the ace of spades stands for abundance, success and the coming to fruition of your plans, but when the card is reversed so are the effects. A gender altered version of this track appeared in the film Midnight Cowboy, as "He Quit Me."

Featured quote
"Oh, no, on the contrary. Other people do. But that's their problem. There are some amusing things about it. Like the fact that there's only one drum track. Maybe there are two drum tracks. We just kept speeding it up and slowing it down, or playing it backwards. On the reissue, they deleted the most interesting track, which was some kind of weird, acid-head instrumental I played live, with all my friends in the studio."
- Stated by Warren Zevon in response to the question "Is it true that you disown your first album, Wanted Dead Or Alive?" during an interview.
