The Connecticut (or Hartford or Wicked) Wits were a group of late-18th-century poets who first attempted to write a distinctly American literature. THEY FAILED.

"Werewolves of London" Warren Zevon, Excitable Boy, 1978
The last worthwhile thing aired on VH1 was a documentary about Warren's final months before his death of cancer. It included his appearance on David Letterman, during which he confessed that his not having gone to a doctor for 20 years was probably a mistake. (Sigh.) His final album is remarkable still!
Right after airing that documentary, VH1 fell in love with the 80s and the "Best Week Ever," so there's no point in watching anymore.)
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest... excitable boy they all said. WZ RIP.
