Requiescat in Pace: Warron Zevon died last night, of lung cancer. His philosophy was admirable:
Zevon said he 'chose a certain path and lived like Jim Morrison and lived 30 more years. You make choices and you have to live with the consequences.
By all accounts his last CD, finished when he was homebound by his illness, is excellent. More about his life and career can be found here.
The chorus of his song "Don't Let us Get Sick" from Life'll Kill Ya is a fitting tribute:
Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
