We all knew it was on its way, but it's finally happened.
Warren Zevon has died after a much-publicized battle with lung cancer.
I know there are big Zevon fans on TFP so I will leave it to them to eulogize him. Whether you are a fan of his music or not, I highly suggest checking out the excellent
VH1 special when it replays this week. It's an interesting, fascinating and odd thing to follow a man living on borrowed time as he records his final album and says goodbye to the people he loves.
Yesterday on the subway I was reading a review of his new album
The Wind. And for some reason, I felt like I was going to get home and find out he had actually died. I checked the news when I got home, but nothing was there. Turns out he
did die yesterday, it just didn't make the news until today. Kinda eerie.
Rest in peace. And to those of you who enjoyed his music or saw him in concert, feel free to post your feelings here.
