and yourself as being too drunk? Apparently, you were in good company! Here are some of their fuzzy recollections:Īre you referring to E. Meanwhile, Silverback John (Mendocino Bonobos) forwarded the post to some other proto-Silverbacks with who he attended a Warren Zevon concert. This story inspired a film titles Savage Grace, starring Julianne Moore and a very young Eddie Redmayne: Antony returned to his cell at 3:30 PM EST on March 20, 1981, and was found dead by suicide 30 minutes later, suffocated by a plastic bag. However, the case was adjourned by the judge due to a delay in the transfer of his medical records from the UK. He was then arrested by the New York City Police Department, charged with attempted murder and sent to Rikers Island prison.Ī fter eight months of assessment by the psychiatric team at Rikers Island, he was expecting to be released on bail at a court hearing on March 20, 1981. Only six days after his release, on July 27, he attacked her with a kitchen knife, stabbing her eight times and breaking several bones. Upon his release, Antony, now aged 33, flew directly to New York City to stay with his 87-year-old maternal grandmother, Nini Daly. Īntony was institutionalized at Broadmoor Hospital until July 21, 1980, when, at the urging of a group of his friends, he was released. He later confessed to, and was charged with, her murder. Police arrived and found Antony at the scene of the crime. She was 51 years of age at the time, and Antony was 25. Two weeks later, on November 17, 1972, Antony murdered his mother by stabbing her with a kitchen knife, killing her almost instantly. Barbara dismissed the doctor’s assertion. The doctor became so concerned about Antony’s condition that on October 30, he warned Barbara that he was capable of murder. Īntony then undertook sessions with a psychiatrist while living at home. Antony was subsequently admitted to The Priory private psychiatric hospital, but was released soon afterwards. Although the Metropolitan Police arrested Antony for attempted murder, Barbara refused to press charges. She was only saved by his physical weakness, and the intervention of her friend Susan Guinness. I n late July 1972, Antony tried to throw his mother under the traffic outside her penthouse on Cadogan Square in Chelsea, London. He was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia however, his father initially refused to allow him to be treated by psychiatrists, a profession he believed to be “ amoral“. ĭuring his young adulthood, Antony displayed increasingly regular signs of schizophrenia with paranoid tendencies, and his erratic behavior caused concern among family friends. After this failed, while the pair were living in Majorca in the summer of 1968 following Barbara and Brooks’s divorce, Barbara was alleged to have raped her son. Baekeland attempted to “ fix” her son by hiring prostitutes to have sex with him. (from Wikipedia) Barbara Baekeland had a complex and allegedly incestuous relationship with her son, Antony Baekeland, who was gay or bisexual. Silverback Bill (Hinesburg SBs) says we should check out a real life excitable boy (perhaps an inspiration for the song?):
Thanks for sharing this comprehensive bio/appreciation. Still 2 of most moving songs of his for me are rocker “”Lawyers,Guns and Money” and elegiac “Keep me in Your Heart”. Might have been a happier, more creative mix. Silverback Mike (Post Island SBs) writes: “What a tortured, torturing and talented being! More balance, care and less alcohol etc. Here’s a sampling of what was heard around The Jungle: Zevon replied, "Just how much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich." Track listing Īll songs written by Warren Zevon, except where noted.The recent post on Warren Zevon triggered a variety of colorful Silverback responses. Letterman asked Zevon if there was anything he understood now, facing his own mortality, that he didn't before. The album's title comes from an interview Zevon did on the Late Show with David Letterman following Zevon's having been diagnosed with terminal pleural mesothelioma. It includes two unreleased Zevon songs: "The Wind," sung by actor Billy Bob Thornton and "Studebaker," sung by Warren's son Jordan Zevon. Jorge Calderón, Evan Frankfort, Brendan O'Brien, Ken Stringfellow, Twangtrust, and Waddy WachtelĮnjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon, released in 2004, is a tribute album to the late Warren Zevon by many famous musicians.
