Well, fuck a duck. :-(

Link found via laurel. Warren Zevon is dying, folks.

This is so fucking wrong. If there's anything resembling an ounce of fucking divine justice/retribution/karma/whatever in this world, Britney Spears and all five Backstreet boys will spontaneously combust the day Warren dies, just to equalize things.

Me too. Already missing him.

That would not be enough.

I read about this earlier. I had read a post saying Stephen King had died (not true, at least not that I can find, probably some kind of slashdot in-joke) and stumbled on this. Sad, sad news.

I've seen the King thing come up as a periodic hoax every once in a while. I wish the Zevon thing were a hoax as well.

Awoooo!

Warren

I wondered if he wasn't sick when he did Life'll Kill Ya back in 2000 -- from the title track to "Don't Let Us Get Sick" to "My Shit's Fucked Up," mortality hung heavy over that album. I didn't even know he'd done one this year (My Ride's Here) -- Amazon didn't mail me about it, which they'd done with other artists by other people before.

His remark, about being fine with it but hoping he made it to the next James Bond movie, seems very in keeping with his public persona. But damn, what a loss this is... and I'm more pissed off than ever that I didn't get to see him back on the Mr. Bad Example tour (I had the tickets in hand, then noticed it was a 21-and-up show -- I was 19 or 20 at the time, and had no way of getting a fake ID).

Requiescat en pace, that's all she wrote...

The James Bond part is really depressing -- that's only a couple of months away. I wish he'd said the next "star wars" movie instead.

Yeah, it is ... that hadn't even sunk in yet. Shit. (And sorry about the underline thing ... thought I'd turned it off.)

I just made a Warren community, if you're interested...

hey!

At least he'll get some sleep now.
