Warren Zevon was an amazing songwriter; among other great songs, he wrote Poor, Poor Pitiful Me which contains the memorable couplet:
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track, waitin' on the double E…
But that train don't run by here no more—poor, poor pitiful me.
(That's a reference to the EE subway line, which was a local version of the E train. Now the E is a local; the EE was killed off over thirty years ago.)
One thing I had forgotten about the song was that Zevon managed to work the rhyme "Waring blender" in with "gender."
