_____________
GROSS: In describing your approach to songwriting, you talk about vowel
movements - that's vowel with a V, as in A-E-I-O-U.
Mr. RICHARDS: That was with Warren Zevon. That's was, yes, my
conversation with Warren.
GROSS: And explain what a vowel movement is.
Mr. RICHARDS: Well, a vowel - you know what vowels are, right?
GROSS: Yes.
Mr. RICHARDS: I mean, there's the ooh's and the ee's and the ahs and the
ahh, you know, without the consonants. And it's where they come
sometimes in a record that will either make or break a record. It was
about choosing the right sound at the right time to put the right ooh or
ahh and whether a word should contain that vowel or not.
Warren Zevon said to me, said, damn it, he says my problem is consonants.
(Soundbite of laughter)

Well, it's the 31st of October, so the ng needed at least one post this
month, so the timing worked out well, didn't it?

...which makes yesterday the 8th anniversary of WZ's last
Letterman show. Time must fly whether you're having fun or not.

Damn. That long, huh?

Yes, I can attest to that, too.
