Song Lyric of the Day (Warren Zevon, Anticipating a Current Morning TV Mess)

“Send lawyers, guns and money

The shit has hit the fan.”—Warren Zevon, "Lawyers, Guns and Money," from his Excitable Boy LP (1978)

Or, as a co-worker noted today: “The shit has hit Strahan.”

(Pictured: co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, in far happier days on "Live with Kelly and Michael.")
