Reply to: OT - Warren Zevon

I heard this a little while ago, also. You don't know how much this ruined my day... Warren is one of the best. Met him a couple of times, seen him a dozen, was at one of the shows that got recorded for "Learning to Flinch." Damn it. I hate it when we lose the good ones. Paul ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS: I think Warren Zevon has come up here a couple times. I figured I'd let any fans that don't already know, know the bad news. I know my day is ruined now. Zane September 12, 2002 Warren Zevon has inoperable cancer Sep. 12, 2002 "Werewolves of London" rocker Warren Zevon, the singer-songwriter whose satire, cynicism and wit went on display in the 1978 album "Excitable Boy," has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, his publicist said Thursday. Zevon, 55, was told of the terminal diagnosis last month by doctors and he is spending time with his grown children, spokeswoman Diana Baron said. The entertainer lives in Los Angeles. "He has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has advanced to an untreatable stage," she said, adding he's writing and recording as many songs as possible and will be in the recording studio next week. Zevon said in a statement, "I'm OK with it, but it'll be a drag if I don't make it till the next James Bond movie comes out." (AP) -- | Zane H.
