Biography of legendary singer-songwriter Warren Zevon, spanning his nomadic youth and early recording career to his substance abuse, final album, and posthumous Grammy Awards

As is the case with so many musicians, the life of Warren Zevon was blessed with talent and opportunity yet also beset by tragedy and setbacks. Raised mostly by his mother with an occasional cameo from his gangster father, Warren had an affinity and talent for music at an early age. Taking to the piano and guitar almost instantly, he began imitating and soon creating songs at every opportunity. After an impromptu performance in the right place at the right time, a record deal landed on the lap of a teenager who was eager to set out on his own and make a name for himself. But of course, where fame is concerned, things are never quite so simple.

Drawing on original interviews with those closest to Zevon, including Crystal Zevon, Jackson Browne, Mitch Albom, Danny Goldberg, Barney Hoskyns, and Merle Ginsberg, Nothing's Bad Luck tells the story of one of rock's greatest talents. Journalist C.M. Kushins not only examines Zevon's troubled personal life and sophisticated, ever-changing musical style, but emphasizes the moments in which the two are inseparable, and ultimately paints Zevon as a hot-headed, literary, compelling, musical genius worthy of the same tier as that of Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

In Nothing's Bad Luck, Kushins at last gives Warren Zevon the serious, in-depth biographical treatment he deserves, making the life of this complex subject accessible to fans old and new for the very first time.

Tough chewers favorite toy
Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug, Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug
This has become my dog’s favorite toy! It looks just like a corn on the cob! The toy itself is very durable. The rope that was attached got torn off within hours though. After much use, it still looks brand new minus the rope!

The Toy That Tires Out Your Dog So You Don’t Have To!
Color: Classic Blue, Color: Classic Blue
After trying a different interactive ball previously, I can confidently say this one is built much better. The construction feels more durable, and most importantly, it has held up well against my dog's enthusiastic chewing and chasing. Many interactive toys claim to be tough, but this one has actually survived extended play sessions without being torn apart. The charging design is simple and well thought out. The ball twists apart easily to reveal the USB-C charging port, making recharging quick and convenient. Once charged, you simply twist the halves back together, press the power button, and it's ready to go. I appreciate that there are no complicated steps or special charging accessories required. What really stands out is how engaging the toy is. The unpredictable movement keeps my dog interested and encourages plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Instead of losing interest after a few minutes, my dog continued chasing, pawing, and interacting with the ball until he was genuinely worn out. For pet owners looking for a way to help burn off excess energy, this toy definitely does the job. One minor issue I noticed is that on a couple of occasions, my dog was able to accidentally turn the toy off while carrying it in his mouth. It wasn't a frequent problem, but it did happen enough to be worth mentioning. Fortunately, turning it back on is quick and easy. Overall, this has been one of the better interactive dog toys I've tested. It's durable, easy to charge, keeps dogs engaged, and provides the kind of activity that leaves them happily exhausted afterward. If your dog enjoys chasing moving toys and you want something sturdier than many of the alternatives on the market, this is a solid choice.

Great Entertainment, Short Battery Life
Color: Classic Blue
This is the first interactive ball I've found that my dog hasn't managed to destroy, which is impressive on its own. The ball keeps him entertained for long periods, and he loves chasing, nudging, and following it around the house. The material feels durable and has held up well to regular play. The one button operation is convenient, and the ball is easy to recharge and clean. My biggest complaint is the battery life. On a full charge, it only seems to run for about 10 minutes before needing to be recharged again. Because of that, I find myself charging it frequently. Even with the shorter runtime, it's been one of the more engaging and durable interactive toys we've tried. Overall, a fun and sturdy toy that keeps dogs occupied, but be prepared for frequent charging.
