His ride finally came.
Requiescat in pace.
goes off to listen to The Wind
Send lawyers, guns, and money. The shit has hit the fan.
Truely, his shit was fucked up.
I was watching “Keep me in your heart for a while” yesterday. At first I expected to feel sorry for him but he was so brave and honest about his illness it was impossible to feel pity.
I have always loved Warren Zevon. He had an angelic face and a wicked sense of humor (See lyrics above). I bought his album Excitable boy on vinyl and played it relentlessly.
The cover for “The Wind” his album released on August 26, 2003, is unforgettable. Taken after he had already outlived his initial prognosis, he looks tired but resolute. The full shot shows that he still looks pretty hot in leather pants.
Keep me in your heart for a while
“Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath / Keep me in your heart for a while / If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less / Keep me in your heart for a while.”
Goodbye Warren, I think I’m gonna miss you for a long long time.
- WAIT FOR THE DAY YOU’LL GO AWAY
KNOWIN’ THAT YOU WARNED ME OF THE PRICE I’D HAVE TO PAY
AND LIFE’S FULL OF LOSS, WHO KNOWS THE COST
AND I THINK I’M GONNA MISS YOU FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
I THINK I’M GONNA LOVE YOU FOR A LONG, LONG TIM*
Thank you for everything.
