Zevon: Still dying

Sadly, the great singer/songwriter has brain cancer (as announced back in September) and it’s not in remission or miraculously cured. I’ve already written my tribute to him (Getting ready to say goodbye to Warren Z) but most of the major rock writers are taking their turns too. After watching the sad results of the game today, and waiting for Alias, I scanned the NY Times and found this touching paen to Zevon by Jon Pareles: In His Time of Dying. Of course plenty of biography but lots of good passages about what Zevon’s doing in his final days; one can only hope he makes it a little while longer, at least, to finish this last recording.
