Jordan Zevon (born August 7, 1969) is an American singer, musician and songwriter. He is the son of rock musician Warren Zevon. Following his father's death in 2003, Jordan, his half-sister, Ariel, and longtime Zevon collaborator Jorge Calderón accepted Warren's two posthumous Grammy Awards for Best Rock Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary Folk Album.

He appeared on the 2004 tribute album to his father titled Enjoy Every Sandwich: Songs of Warren Zevon singing the previously unreleased song Studebaker. In 2005 he appeared on another tribute album called Hurry Home Early: the Songs of Warren Zevon, issued by Wampus Multimedia, where he sang another unreleased song called "Warm Rain" with Simone Stevens. He has also produced several films including the motion picture $pent (2000).

In 2005, he released his self-titled debut EP through his production company Mixed Headache. His first full length album, Insides Out, was released through Texas-based New West Records on April 15, 2008.

On June 7 he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and again on April 18, 2008.

In 2008, he won the Overall Grand Prize of the prestigious 14th Annual USA Songwriting Competition with his song "Home".

He is currently working on a new album entitled Imperfect, which he has described to be "darker and more rock than power pop" compared to his previous work, and has stated that it will feature the tracks “May or May Not”, “Not Like Me”, "Merry Go Wrong”, “Wrecking Ball”, “The Epic Fail” and “Stick With Me”. On August 4, 2011 he released a demo take of the song "Wrecking Ball" on his personal website.

Jordan River

The Jordan River (in traditional English River Jordan) (Hebrew: נְהַר הַיַּרְדֵּן‎ nehar hayarden; Arabic: نَهْر الْأُرْدُنّ‎ nahr al-urdun) is a 251-kilometre (156 mi)-long river in West Asia flowing to the Dead Sea. Israel and the West Bank border the river to the west, while the Golan Heights and Jordan lie to its east. Both Jordan and the West Bank take their names from the river.

The river has a major significance in Judaism and Christianity and, to a more moderate degree, Islam, as the site where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land and where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised by John the Baptist.

Physical characteristics

Tributaries

The streams coming together to create the River Jordan in its upper basin are, west to east:

  • Iyyon (Hebrew: עיון Iyyon, Arabic: دردره Dardara or براغيث Braghith – on old PEF maps (1871–77) as Wadi el-Kharrar in the Merj 'Ayun area and Nahr Bareighit in its lower part), a stream which flows from Lebanon.
  • Hasbani (Arabic: الحاصباني Hasbani, Hebrew: either שניר Snir or Hatzbani), a stream which flows from Mount Lebanon.

    Jordan (Bishop of Poland)

    Jordan (died in 982 or 984) was the first Bishop of Poland from 968 with his seat, most probably, in Poznań. He was an Italian or German.

    Most evidence shows that he was missionary bishop subordinate directly to the Pope. He arrived in Poland, probably from Italy or the Rhineland, in 966 with Doubravka of Bohemia to baptise Mieszko I of Poland. After the death of Jordan until 992 the throne of the Bishop of Poland was vacant, or there was a bishop of unknown name (the first theory is more probable). His successor, from 992, was Unger.

    by: Jordan Zevon

    Looking to the sky with questions
    Wondering how this misdirection
    Came to be the street my life has paved
    Why the voices so familiar
    Fade into the hemisphere
    The more I crave
    The more they slip away
    There's no happily-ever-after
    Just some tears we smear with laughter
    At least I've got pictures and memories
    Saving your voice on my phone machine
    The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream
    A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality
    When you're turning insides out
    Finding out just what you're all about
    Now it's getting closer to the surface
    Feel the itch, but I can't scratch it
    All filed up with no place to go
    Scabs that I've grown closer to
    That feel too deep to dare remove
    Beneath the skin, the bone, the veins, the soul
    Truth be told I'm in the thick
    But feeling thinner by the minute
    At least I've got pictures and memories
    Saving your voice on my phone machine
    The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream
    A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality
    When you're turning insides out
    Searching for some solid ground
    Who knew you could scream so loud
    Now that you're turning insides out
    Headed straight to ordinary
    Settled on a plot of bland
    But all the best laid
    Rarely pay a worthy dividend
    And so I'll tread where most would stray
    And when I land flat on my face
    I'll brush the dirt and stand up with a smile
    At least they'll never say I didn't try
    At least I've got pictures and memories
    Saving your voice on my phone machine
    The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream
    A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality
    When you're turning insides out
    This is what it's all about
    Bailing out the boat before you drowned
    Now that you're turning insides out
    This is what it's all about
    Who knew you could scream so loud
    Now that you're...
