A Warren Zevon show from 1999:

http://www.archive.org/details/wz1999-11-22.flacf

It includes a tune I'm very big on right now: "Seminole Bingo," which is the only song I know of that actually mentions Big Cypress:

I'm a junk bond king

And I'm on the run

Me and a friend of mine

We were headed for the sunshine

I got my hands on the wheel

I got gas in the tank

I got a suitcase full of money

From a Luxembourg bank

We didn't stop 'til we got to Big Cypress

Wandered in to the Legion Hall

The sign outside said "Seminole Bingo"

Fell in love with the ping pong balls

And the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo

And my Wall Street wiles

Don't help me even slightly

'Cause I never have the numbers

And I'm losing nightly

I cashed in the last of my Triple B bonds

Bought a double-wide on the Tamiami Trail

I parked it right outside the reservation

Fifteen minutes from the Collier County Jail

And the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo

Well, the SEC is far behind

Down in the swamp with the gators and flamingos

A long way from Liechtenstein

I'm a junk bond king playing Seminole Bingo

Aloha,

Brad

Sloan, Twice Removed.

Years later, still fookin awesome.

Agreed. That cover took me back when I saw it, thanks Hamilton. I used to give it quite a few spins when I was DJing at my college Radio station back in like '92 or '93. That album was to the Halifax music explosion, that Nevermind was to the Seattle thing in the early 90's.
