It's funny how minds work. I probably haven't thought of Warren Zevon's "Mr Bad Example" for years, and if you'd asked me to name N of his songs off the top of my head I doubt it'd have come to mind. But the moment I saw the right toot to give it context¹ ², there was my mind confidently popping it up.

You should listen to "Mr Bad Example". Well, you should listen to all of Warren Zevon. We lost a treasure.

² they're always going to be toots to me, sometimes.
