Warren Zevon

At that point, he'd been kicking around the music business since the mid-'60s.

Actors act and singers sing, and never the twain shall meet. That's the lesson we can all take from Adam Sandler's kicking-a-corpse-before-it's-cold take on Warren Zevon's 'Werewolves of London.'

Classic rock is about heavy hooks, power chords and tight harmonies. But it’s also about letting loose and enjoying the good times — and there’s no better time for that than Friday evening, when we pick up our paycheck, punch out of work and enjoy a couple days of much-needed rest and relaxation.

Sixteen years before he died of lung cancer in 2003, Warren Zevon recorded a song about a blue-collar worker that pretty much foreshadowed his own death. 'The Factory' appeared on Zevon's 1987 comeback album 'Sentimental Hygiene,' and chronicles the life of a man who grows up to be a factory worker just like his dad.
