Warren Zevon

I've got him number one on my dead pool

i have a feeling there is more to this post than we know

Something you'd like to share with the rest of the class, ELpH?

From what I believe, the new album is due out on the 26th ... I've been a Zevon fan forever.

He is still with us.

I only just now read ELpH's entire post, and I don't believe he has any ulterior motives ... he's just getting the word out before this genius leaves the planet.

Anyone who has seen Zevon's last three appearances on 'Letterman' (following the diagnosis, and as recently as a few months ago) knows that this man is extraordinary.

What a story teller this man is. I saw him at this small venue, like an auditorium (Cedar Lake Cultural Center), a few years ago when he came out with the "Life Will Kill Ya'" (ironic?) album. It was just him and he did a phenomenal job talking and interacting with the audience. This was when our dipshit governor The Body was around. He introduced him that evening. Other then that intro, it was an extremely memorable evening. I'll be extremely sadend to see this man pass.

Peace!

I think that this whole cancer thing is a big practical joke Warren is playing on the music industry. It seems like exactly the kind of bizarre joke he would play on us all... I think one of these days he's going to go "Hey, I was just fucking with all of you! I don't have cancer at all! Zing!" and have a good laugh.

There is a special on VH1 tomorrow at 8pm about the recording of his last album. Just thought I would let you all know.
