<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I was very impressed with the VH1 Special that documented the recording of Warren's last album.After being diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer he was determined to finish the album before starting treatment.
The documentary showed a brave,sensitive,human side of Warren.It also showed the down-to-earth,quick wit that has been a part of so many of his great songs.
When he related being asked about regrets,Warren said, "I wish I had savored every sandwich".

"Keep me in your heart just a little while"
Warren Zevon

Just a reminder of how cool David Letterman is! Night before last, he inisisted his house band play nothing but Warren Zevon. That's a show I'd like to own. (unedited)

Pauly does lots of justice

Sorry to hear of the two Johns demise. Especially the 3's company, seeing he was relatively young, & it happened unexpected. I grew up in the country where there was NO cable. So watching that show wasn't an option. Never liked the show or nothing, just loved the babes. I suppose in retrospect it had it's moments of comedy. I just never found the dumb-blonde thing laughable? NTM: Yrs. later, Don Knotts made his way onto the show. Anything of Andy (specially Barney) is genious!!!!

To John Cash. Your with June now. Rest in peace. Thanks for filling the void on my lonely Sundays, skipping church & spinning your records.

With the Highwaymen, Cash's verse had him on a starship, and when he reaches the other side, he'll rest his spirit if he can.

I sure hope his spirit's at rest and he's with June again.

So sorry to hear about him. Mike really loved him so it's been really hard on him. I hated to have to break the news to him. Peace & God Bless...

I enjoyed watching 3's Company in the 70's & like to watch reruns whenever I could get near cable tv. Also Larry Hovis of Hogans Hero's died recently as well. So many going so soon... Peace & God Bless... <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

Johnny was a genius that will be missed, but his music will never die. Look at what he did with that Nine Inch Nails song. The video was one of the best and most moving I've ever seen...

The "Man in Black" was so much more than a talented country performer.He had the nerve to write and sing songs with a sensitive understanding of disillusioned youth back in the turbulent '60's.Who could forget the gut wrenching honesty of "What is Truth?".
In my rebellious youth Johnny Cash was one of the few country performers I admired and respected.He will be sadly missed.
