Personal Quote:

I guess I made sort of a tactical error by not going to the doctor's in 20 years . . . just one of those phobias that didn't pay off. See more »

Trivia:

The song Werewolves of London's title was an idea of Phil Everly! He asked Warren and Waddy Wachtel to write a dance song and call it Werewolf of London. Warren had worked for Phil on his TV show as music director much as he did when he filled in for Paul Shaffer on Late Night with David Letterman. He played in an Irish pub in Spain before Werewolves made him famous. See more »
