Warren Zevon, R.I.P 

I had made a post at the end of August on Warren Zevon's last stand. I just learnt that Zevon has succumbed to his illness, two weeks after releasing his final album, The Wind, which currently occupies the No:1 sales rank on Amazon. As I had mentioned in my last post, he died as he lived, with his sense of humour intact.

Zevon was the sole guest for an episode of the Late Show With David Letterman in October of 2002, and Letterman asked Zevon if he had learned anything about life and death since his diagnosis. Perhaps hinting at his epitaph, Zevon answered, "How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich."

RIP WZ. Will miss seeing and hearing you on Letterman.
