Damn.


This year, I am sorry to be the bearer of this awful news: The great Warren Zevon has been diagnosed with untreatable lung cancer.. He is taking it, forgive me for saying so, like a man. “I’m okay with it, but it’ll be a drag if I don’t make it till the next James Bond movie comes out.” I have always loved Warren, but I particularly enjoy the new album, “My Ride’s Here,” on Artemis with guest spots by Paul Muldoon, Hunter S. Thompson and a song written with the great Carl Hiaasen, tied to his new novel.
