The Last Resort. Don Henley, from the Eagles' Hotel California LP/CD. One of my favorite songs ever!

That's a little too obscure. No one's going to get it without some additional clues.

The first full-length article about him appeared in 1969, when he was 19, and he was featured in Rolling Stone as early as 1973--the same year, it was rumored, that he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize at age 22. The 1980 release of XXXXXXX....

that's the only problem with doing music/poetry this way, if it's too popular? it's too easy, but if it's too obscure its no fun either... the title of your clue reminded me of this Album was all....

Ok, Glassmans is Jim Carroll. A poet/musician/? from the 80's and 90's. I've read his diary books and had his Catholic Boy album. Now I'm gonna have to get a record player and dig it out. No idea about LEOs.

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
And I fell asleep and dreamed I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie And that I was the star of the movie This really blew my mind, the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome should be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world In front of every kind of girl, there was black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...
Out of the middle came a lady She whispered in my ear something crazy She said:
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
(spoken:)
I thought to myself what could that mean Am I going crazy or is this just a dream Now, wait a minute I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere so it's all in my head and then.. I heard her say one more time:
(sung:)
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
(spoken:) I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back As she disappeared, but soon she returned In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass And raised it to her lips And just before she drank it, she said:
(sung:) Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
