Well, he knew it was
coming; we knew it was coming; that doesn't make it any less of a loss. Warren Zevon passed away on September
7 at his home in Los Angeles, over a year after being diagnosed with mesothelioma, an inoperable form of lung
cancer. Zevon did get to see the release of his final album, The Wind, less than two weeks before his
death. It's a hell of a parting shot. Many of Zevon's friends and past collaborators contributed to
The Wind, including Bruce Springsteen on PRISON GROVE and the roadhousin' DISORDER IN THE HOUSE.
(Springsteen and Zevon previously collaborated on JEANNIE
NEEDS A SHOOTER, released on Zevon's 1980 album Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School). VH1's recent
program (Inside)Out:
Warren Zevon, chronicling his race to finish The Wind, re-airs several more times - check
RockOnTV.com
for dates and times. And, as Warren himself said last October, "enjoy every sandwich."
