Featured article
"Jeannie Needs A Shooter" is a song written by Warren Zevon and Bruce Springsteen. It appears on Warren Zevon's fourth album Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School released in 1980. This song can also be heard as a live version on Stand in the Fire (1981). Zevon had heard of this Bruce Springsteen song title from his manager, Jon Landau. Warren once said he asked Springsteen about it "many times" until Springsteen said, "You like it so much, why don't you write it?"

Featured quote
"No, I never paid attention. I learned things 20 years later. It was like a cold. It took me 10 years to realize that I don't know 'em, 10 years to realize that it's possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things. And then I find, within a 30-year struggle, I know how to do harmony parts. It's true."
- Stated by Warren Zevon in response to the question "Especially on your earlier albums, you had a lot of great harmony singing in the background. Did you learn about how to arrange vocal harmonies from working with the Everly Brothers?" during an interview.
