Listening to: 'Knock On Heavens Door *' from 'The Wind' by 'Zevon, Warren' on Media Center 9.1


Don't protest your innocence, only the dead get off scott free.
- Warren Zevon -

Life is cheap and death is free.
- Warren Zevon -

Send lawyers, guns and money,
Dad get me out of this...
- Warren Zevon / Excitable Boy "Lawyers, Guns and Money" -

We contemplate eternity beneath the vast indifference of heaven.
- Warren Zevon -

You make choices and you have to live with the consequences.
- Warren Zevon ,1947 - 2003

Some get the awful awful diseases,
Some get the knife, some get the gun,
Some get to die in their sleep, at the age of 101.

- Warren Zevon 56, 1947 - 2003

Warren will be missed by many of us. He truely did "enjoy every sandwich"!

David Letterman gave a nice tribute to Warren Zevon tonite. They'll be playing warren's music tonight and run a clip from his last appearance on the show in october.

Happy Trails Warren.

My favourite is "Roland the Headless Thompsongunner", perhaps because he was "from the land of the midnight sun", which is Norway. I have listened to Zevon since "The Envoy" came out. He'll be sorely missed.

Thanks, funny you had already seen Letterman and I just read this at 10:35pm here in Denver and that's when Letterman starts.  Thanks for letting me know, I would have missed it otherwise.

Letterman did good, but it was obvious he was having a hard time throughout the show.

As you may remember, I live in upstate NY and was watching the show while I was conversing here. And yes you could see it was on his mind, I guess they had gotten to be pretty good friends over the years. I always looked forward to WZ's appearances on the Letterman Show.

I saw WZ live twice at Cafe Lena's in Saratoga Springs and once in a club in NYC purely by chance. He always had a great rapport with the audience and seemed to prefer small intimate venues.

Did anybody see the VH-2 or MTV special ( can't remember which)? It followed him around  as he finished his last album and was dealing with his cancer. It was very moving.

(BTW, I remember mountain tme - I lived up in Cheyenne for a couple of years and later in Albuquerque back in the '80s)

It was a great performance by Letterman, good show.

I saw him once here in Denver at "The Rainbow Music Hall" (which has since been converted into a drug store...).

It was just him and his electric guitar.  It was good.

Zevon's lyrics always struck me as genius.
