One of the greats. Anyone that counted Hunter Thompson as a close friend was doing something right.

  Great article.  The Dawes performance of Desperados Under the Eaves is really great.  Here are a few other personal favorites.

"Enjoy every sandwich".

I celebrate his entire life/catalog.

That Dawes performance is flat fucking perfect.  Wow.

Zevon is the epitome of underrated.  So many brilliant songs.  "Excitable Boy" cracks me up every time.

I saw a werewolf driving a convertible down the Santa Monica Freeway 

It was a blood-red Coupe deVille

the guy was a tragic soul, but jaysus, could he write, sing and play

Which also means it has been 15 years since Johnny Cash died.  I remember going to Smokey Mountain National Park for vacation in early September 2003.  On my way to Sevierville I remember some college radio station in Louisville, Kentucky playing Boom Boom Mancini and talking about how Zevon had died a week or two earlier.  On my way back I was bombarded with Johnny Cash songs on every radio station I could find because he had died the day before.

Damn, Warren gave Dave his guitar after that last performance.
