...is still dead. Been awhile since I posted about Warren. Got to meet and talk with him. It was like losing an old friend.....RIP.

Werwolves was a classic, he was one funny guy..

Big gorilla at the LA zoo, snatched the glasses right off my face.......took the keys to my BMW, left me here to take his place.

Listened to The Wind.

What a goodbye gift to the world.

Gorilla you're a desperaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaado.

If you look up Warren Zevon on wikipedia, what section do they list his discography?

NINE!

Probably my favorite Warren Zevon Tune.

Definately one of the best song writers ever.

Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)

#10 Good one. Of course, I have to love Lawyers, Guns and Money. Wrote a lot of really good songs.

One of my best memories of law school was a party at the end of the year. These guys had like half the top floor of an apartment building. We were drinking, smoking...um, stuff...tossing lit fireworks out the window at passing cars, and howling to Wherewolves of London over and over, cranked up on the stereo.

I thought for sure we'd get arrested and thrown out of school. Nope!

Good times. Can't wait until I get to appear in front of a former classmate who was there, and the person is now a judge...I just might have a little leeway there....

Send lawyers, guns and money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he had a whole nother' life goin' on from what he portrayed..............

Classic mistique vs real life.....

He could tell some stories I bet..............

He and Dave Letterman were pretty good friends. Dave had him on his show towards the end, when he could barely travel. He told Dave that what was happening to him (I'm paraphrasing) was the result of the rowdy lifestyle he had led. He not only seemed to believe he would die soon, but that he had pretty much worked earlier in his life to help bring that about.

He didn't whimper or whine about it. He was very matter of fact about it. I suspect that at that final moment, we all will face the culmination of all our fears. For Warren, however, at least publicly, he wasn't flinching.

BTW, Warren's last appearance on Letterman is available on YouTube. I think that is astounding...both the appearance, which I found moving, as well as the fact that you can watch the entire show online via YouTube, in parts.

RIP Warren...and thanks for the great tunes.

Incidentally...I quit watching Dave's show long ago...just got boring for me. However, I think he handled this with a lot of class, too. How the hell do you talk with a friend about his/her impending death on national TV? Even Paul S, whose sycophantry I long ago grew tired of, handled the matter pretty well. One of the more moving bits of TV I can ever recall seeing.

"...you don't look so bad, Warren..."

"well, don't be fooled by cosmetics."

^Classic stuff.
