Thanks for the link. I never did see Zevon’s final appearance on the show, so I sat down and watched that part of it this morning. It kind of hits home because I have had a couple of family members who have made the same “tactical error” of not seeing a doctor for too long. This would be all of Zevon’s appearances _as a guest_, right? Because didn’t he fill in for Paul Shaffer for several weeks while Shaffer was off working in the Blues Brothers sequel? ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > I always loved that Letterman loved Zevon. > mmm Zevon said Dave was the best thing that ever happened for his music. I think Linda Rondstadt might be even more important. I’ll say it - I’m a Linda Rondstadt fan. I celebrate her entire catalog.
