  In January 1990, Warren Zevon appeared on the David Letterman Show, performing "Raspberry Beret," a song originally by Prince. This performance coincided with the release of his album "Hindu Love Gods," which featured contributions from members of R.E.M. (minus Michael Stipe). The album showcased Zevon's adventurous spirit and willingness to explore different musical styles, blending rock with a touch of humor and clever lyricism. This period marked a significant moment in Zevon's career as he collaborated with a prominent band, widening his appeal to new audiences. The "Hindu Love Gods" project reflects his continued evolution as an artist, showcasing his ability to merge with rising musical acts while maintaining his distinct voice in the industry. Zevon's appearance on a major late-night show at this time further illustrates his cultural relevance and the recognition he gained throughout the 1980s leading into the 1990s.
