Entertaining (albeit short) interview with Warren accessible on KFOG's main page:

Don't know how long it will be there...

Warren Zevon:

I fully agree with the comments on this post. Zevon was both a talented singer/songwriter and refreshingly self-depravating artist. That combination is far to uncommon in this absolutely earnest age. He will be missed.

I once saw him play Glasgow a couple of years back. No band, just him, his acoustic and his piano. A great night. He actually did a song I didn't recognise that was really poignant and struck a chord with me. I stuck some lyrics I remembered next day in Yahoo and back popped a poem by Robert Burns - Parcel of Rogues in a Nation. Turns out this guy was playing me a song by one of Scotland's most famous and celebrated sons and I didn't even realise. It took this foreigner to teach me a little of my own history and culture - I guess that's Warren for you. I beleive his mother (or maybe his grandmother) was Scottish which is why he knew of the song/poem. So he wasn't really that much of a foreigner after all. Anyway, a great night that really left an impression on me. Glad I saw him.

I knew he was close to the end, but Haggischomper's post was the first I'd heard that Mr. Zevon is no longer with us. To say he was one of a kind is almost an understatement. He was practically his own genre.

Whatever it is that awaits us in the Great Beyond, I hope Warren Zevon has found peace. By all accounts, he was not only a great artist, but a pretty all right guy as well.

My sympathies to his fans & family.

with all due respect, i always thought he was a handsome man.

i wonder if he's met Robert Urich yet?

He was a good man by the best of standards. He'll be missed sorely.

i wonder if david latterman & paul schaeffer will do something specical for him. he was a friend of the show.

kinda wierd but a few days ago i was thinking about WZ wonderin' if he'd miraculouly defy the odds.

His new album is definitely worth getting. Great tunes .. funny, poignant lyrics.

Poor Warren Zevon.

Not sure how many fans of his hang out over here but a little of the fun just went out of music.
